"We witness the unveiling of drawings and models for new buildings and joyously celebrate their realization. We proudly lay cornerstones and partake in topping out ceremonies. However, the demolition and interment of buildings occur far too frequently in obscurity."

In 'Interment', the author invites readers on a journey inside the legendary Bank of Industries building in downtown Reykjavík, revealing the profound ideas and aspirations that reside within its walls. Amidst the bustling tapestry of everyday life in the city, she skillfully intertwines the narrative of the building's existence and demise with a tale of ideas and her own personal story.
