Ola’s style is inspired by her observations of daily life, in the interesting juxtapositions of urban visual culture, and the creative possibilities of chance and coincidence. Her unique process is based on working by hand with paper; a process that lends her works a playful, tactile, and multidimensional quality when translated to digital format.
