It was absolutely magical to photograph Sara Västerlund in her studio and garden. Her works have a depth that is grounded in an exploration of life and death. Like a journey through time. Portals to our ancestors. I feel like a traveler coming back with a new understanding of life.

From Sara Västerlund's bio:
Sara Västerlund's visual world moves in a double landscape where beauty and craftsmanship process emotions such as anxiety and longing. In her work, duality is a leading theme, where security can be transformed and recast into all of our abysmal fears and pain. In her artistry, she walks with a clear eye and beating heart towards her abysses. By not taking detours, a certain fragility is experienced in her work. The fragility can easily be mistaken for expressing only a beauty in the stillness, but at a closer look an abysmal roar can be heard that can only sound from the experience of life.
