8 ICELAND REVIEW
Art
‘Fjöðrin’ (‘Feather’) is a giant mural by
Reykjavík artist Sara Riel, located in
Reykjavík’s Breiðholt suburb. ‘Fjöðrin’
consists of 43 birds from 23 different
species, which come together to create
a unified image of a feather. Breiðholt is
the most multicultural neighborhood in
Reykjavík, which inspired the artwork.
Sara describes the suburb as a place
“where individuals with different back-
grounds have come together to create a
community.”
Last year, the city council decided to
bring more art to the area. in total, ten
end walls will receive artwork by artists
including theresa Himmer and even
two by the legendary erró.
‘Fjöðrin’ is located at asparfell 2-12. *
