I touch the water. The waves of the Arctic Ocean wash over my route to the lighthouse. I search for the ship ploughing the sea in front of the mountains. It is so cold. Come! I have photographed Nordic people in the Nordic countries. Water demarcated my routes in Denmark and Norway. I hid the protagonist in a sea costume in the turquoise of Icelandic water. A frozen water slide slept in a closed zoo in Sweden. Unknown boys, girls and women participated in my visions. I want to show people that our immediate environment is fantastic. I search for individual sights. Images, like books, can tell stories. A reader of images is given the opportunity to deal with his or her loss and encounters in life. The boy in the channel of farewells is drowning only for a moment.
