About the series Earth Shapes

I started the series called Earth Shapes five years ago. My approach has been to integrate and unite the language of ancient nature, with the illusory human form – to explore and communicate man as nature. For me, this project has become a grateful tribute to Mother Nature – a play with lines, shapes and movement, with fragility and the permanent.

The photos were mainly taken in northern Norway, in Rana, close to the Arctic Circle. It is my aim that this exhibition invites the public to embrace the infinite beauty with which we are all connected, and which sustains our existence. I hope to evoke the deep joy I have found in being out in nature, and to convey the deep humility it inspires, as the source of life.
