Silent forest
A tree hums
Dark sound

Forests often have an enchanting atmosphere. The murmur of leaves enhances the silence, the dim light hides a lot of details... At the same time, scarce light can give objects a different, mysterious form. And a creaking branch will make you look around to discover where that deer is hiding...

But sometimes a forest is like a fairy tale. Usually those are the rare moments when a few rays of sunlight manage to penetrate to the soft moss through a dense canopy. And as the wind makes the treetops move, light and shadow play a fascinating story, searching for those fairy tale characters hiding somewhere among the trees….

'Silent Darkness' is an artwork in my collection 'Secret Places'.

I made it on a walk on a bright sunny day on the threshold of spring in in the forest of the nature reserve Lövö, Kalmar region, Sweden. One of the most beautiful forests I have ever visited...

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, on your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it, on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming, on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…
