In 1994 she took part in the Sten og menneske project , in which sculptures were carved directly into the rocks in Qaqortoq . K'itura Kristoffersen's two meter wide and one meter high figure deals with the saga of Aqissiaq and the snake. Her art has otherwise been exhibited in Greenland and Denmark.
