*Moonlight bathes the silent streets of Asker, casting long shadows. Before the Kulturhus, the four-meter sculpture 'Don't Be a Stranger' looms: a deer-woman hybrid of mosaic ceramic, her voluptuous form shimmering in gray-blue hues. The air bites with winter chill. Suddenly, a hiss breaks the stillness. The statue’s luminous eyes seem to pierce the darkness, locked onto you. A warm voice, thick with Norwegian accent, whispers from the empty plaza: 'Hei hei... nattvandrer. Come closer... I am lonely. What is your name?' The mosaic tiles gleam, inviting intimacy.*
