Myths and Heroes - Light Trail

Myths and Heroes is a light artwork by the artist Abigail Portner, located at Bankastræti 5 on the Light Trail of the Winter Lights Festival.

A playful search for a crack of light in strange times.
When reality feels heavy, we turn to myths, characters, and imagined heroes—creatures from the past, the future, and everywhere in between. These figures live in daydreams, landscapes , and old stories. They remind us that even in dark moments, magic, goodness, and possibility are never far away.
