I’m in love with light, I often say.

But when I photographed a sunset and the sun was shining far too brightly into the lens of the camera, I suddenly wondered if that is true. So the question is, am I in love with light, or am I in love with how the light is filtered, veiled or scattered?

When you see pictures of the moon, the 'daylight' of the sun is bright, monotonous and unmerciful.

ALL WE NEED IS LESS CONSUMING

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke. Thus to think about your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it. And on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming. And please, reflect on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…
