About artwork: The name Þingvellir is derived from the Old Norse meaning Þingvǫllr or assembly fields. It was the site of the AlÞing, the annual parliament of Iceland from the year 930 until the last session held at Þingvellir in 1798. It lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic. During the 19th century, Þingvellir emerged as a nationalist symbol. According to Icelandic political scientist Birgir Hermannsson, "Thingvellir can be likened to a church or building which serves as a pilgrimage destination and as a site for the nation-state’s ritual ceremonies."
