The Butterfly Effect is an immersive event presenting Twelve O’clock-tales and After-hours Thoughts, a hybrid memoir and artistic exploration born from heartbreak, reinvention, and the quiet pursuit of meaning.
Moving between the performative theatre of nightlife and the intimacy of personal transformation, the work invites each guest to reflect on their own moments of change and renewal. Through story, imagery, and atmosphere, the event becomes both celebration and reflection — a shared space where art and emotion meet.
I am present throughout, not as a narrator above the work but as part of its fabric — one life among many, woven into a collective experience.
The Butterfly Effect also marks an active prelude to the forthcoming publication of Twelve O’clock-tales and After-hours Thoughts — bringing its world off the page and into a living, human encounter.

Artist Statement
In 2013, I created R.I.P. DIVA, an animated video marking the symbolic end of my life in the spotlight — a farewell to the persona who once thrived there. I didn’t know then that this eulogy would take a decade to unfold. Twelve O’clock-tales and After-hours Thoughts became its continuation: a chronicle of transformation, using the rituals of the bar — its recipes, its rhythm, its small acts of service — as a way to restore the mind.
Finishing these vignettes brought the clarity to step away from the stage and begin again, later working in the Traumatic Brain Injury department at Sunnaas Hospital, helping others rebuild their lives. Through that experience I discovered that, whether mixing a martini or studying the human brain, the aim is the same — to find balance between the wild and the disciplined.
This work is for anyone who has learned to live their light differently — not extinguished, but reshaped.
