Through 'Love in Exile,' Uldalen seeks to process and accept an exceedingly absurd experience of existence. Reflecting on his private endeavours, the artist moves away from the self-destructive Nihilism into the reality-accepting Existentialism. 'Love in Ex- ile' marks the artist's arrival at Absurdism, where he takes a novel approach to em- bracing actuality. The idea of 'Love' stands for hope and the search for inner peace, whilst the idea of 'Exile' is derived from Al- bert Camus' ideology of the universal intrin- sic lack of meaning which clashes with our own struggle to find such in the quotidian. Within this convoluted universe, Uldalen finds peace: 'Love in Exile.'
