The title Flag of interests plays on the double meaning of the English word interests. The flag is a deconstruction of the geometric shapes of flags in countries with interests in the Arctic. It is a flag that simultaneously processes geometry and geopolitics. The transverse circle appears as balls that are played around between geometric shapes - balls in the game of power in an increasingly strategic central continent. The flag evokes associations of a splinter of the national flags, an explosion in the middle that dissolves and breaks down and shoots bullets into their respective new lanes.

The flag is included in the project ERFALASOQ // FLAG, featuring 13 art flags.The flags are hoisted in the flag pole at Holm's House by the colonial harbor in Nuuk and exhibited at Nuuk Art Museum, Nuuk, Greenland and at Nordatlantens Brygge, Copenhagen, Denmark. The project is generously supported by Nuuk Lokaludvalg.
