“I do not fully understand it at first: the gradual and painful insight into a decisive and violent shift. The world I grew up in is under threat. The landscapes stretch out, as beautiful and imperturbable as ever; these landscapes have met my eyes since the day I was born. I can no longer see them as before.”

The work is based on a series of landscapes made close to the artist's home in Smedsby, in Värmland. The collision between those hauntingly beautiful surroundings and the knowledge of what is happening in the wider world is its emotional fuel.
