Inspired by Norse mythology, the goddess of death Hel in Helheim, and personal failures in my own kitchen, this project reflects my ongoing journey as a visual artist.
My artistic growth directly enhances my role as an Associate Creative Director, bringing fresh ideas and new perspectives to every project. I blend art and advertising through videos, performances, animations, and social media content—often collaborating with photographers and directors.
Currently, I’m setting up a green screen room at home to take my experiments further. I also explore AR and VR to build immersive worlds that engage audiences with entertainment and humor—keeping storytelling fresh and exciting.

Artist Statment:
Ellingsen explores calamity and hysteria through an immersive installation of “Hel’s Kitchen”. From Norse mythology, spirituality, pop culture, surrealism and hedonistic aspects of advertising “Hel’s Kitchen” addresses the theme INT./EXT. Through the Norse deity and goddess of death, Hel, Ellingsen is showcasing internal struggles against societal expectations of women. A humorous take on domestic failures masks a deeper anxiety about the regression of women’s rights. The installation’s pastel kitchen, dysfunctional kitchenware, and mock cooking-shows invites reflection on the political climate and threats to women’s autonomy.
