title
In Soulscapes
I created this series during hiking and I used myself as a photographer and character. Through these photos, I would like to convey the feeling what it's like to be a part of the surrounding nature as a human being and experience its purifying quality.
Instead of self-portraits, my aim is to depict the impersonal human figure as part of unity and to visualize the connection with nature, allegorically the connection to the inner depths beyond the phenomena.
Nature opens the gates to the worlds of the soul. My aim is to explore these inner realms and highlight the healing forces flowing from nature that many human souls need, especially today. To retreat into nature, to be present, and to allow these inner spheres to open up and lead us into our true selves.

entry description
The pieces of In Soulscapes were born in the enchanting landscapes of Lapland, Finland, Northern Norway and Iceland, where nature pulsates so intensively and gives birth to majestic artworks by itself. During my trip, I strived to capture these artworks supplemented with my own visions, which were awakened in me by the spirit, atmosphere and aesthetics of nordic nature. Every single photo has the own symbolic meaning in the deeper, often hidden aspects of existence.I created this series during hiking and I used myself as a photographer and character.
