Islands
Photography / 2014 – 2016 / pigment prints on fotosec / edition of 5 / 70 x 86 cm
The series is an exploration in the Sea of Lights, where evolution is affected by myths, memories and nostalgia. Nostalgia uses shipwrecked thoughts and loose figments of reality to create places that are simultaneously hopeful and dangerous, strange and familiar.
The island have their own roles and tasks in the sea of memory - they are those parts of the human mind, where lost things get a childlike glow, but the terrain turns out to be treacherous and shallow.
