Work
Ovrebo works in a naturalistic style and her stories make use of themes from fairy tales and mythology.
«Labyrinth» is a wordless comic set in a labyrinthic structure, where a group of people face challenges in a dreamworld with unknown rules. It relies heavily on a symbolic reading of the panels.
Dreams and symbolism are themes in several of her short stories as well, from straight dreamstories like «A true dream», to a symbolic treatment of cityscapes in «Who lives in St. Olavs gate?»
