Tension
“In Between: Iceland” is a series about a liminal space born from my own state of transition. I didn’t realize it then, but I traveled to Iceland already intuitively sensing that I was between two worlds: the one slowly being released, and the one only beginning to take shape. Because of that, Iceland becomes not only a landscape, but an inner threshold - a place where the strangeness of the outer world echoes an internal fracture.
This space feels like a cosmic zone where time slows down, forms grow harsher, and you are left alone with yourself. It is precisely in this “in-between” - between ice and fire - that a new state begins to emerge.
The series captures the feeling of no longer being there, yet not quite here - when the former world fades into mist and the new one only starts to reveal itself.
Surface
A Treshold
Usually, birds symbolize freedom. But in my Iceland series, this meaning begins to change. In Iceland’s vast, almost cosmic landscape, nature does not comfort. It presses, scatters, and pushes the bird to the edge. Here, the bird becomes a sign of vulnerability - caught by the forces around it, and by its own fears, as if rising from the frozen volcanic ground.“In this space shaped by the elements, there is no longer any support for flight. Silent grey clouds cover the sky. Even the brightest light, appearing only for a moment, reveals itself as an illusion. It strikes a mute iceberg and dissolves, leaving only a vibration carried by the Icelandic wind. The wings are wounded. The bird is brought down onto an empty surface. Submerged in fog. And the question remains: perhaps true liberation begins exactly there - in the confrontation with the shadows.”
Submerge
In Metamorphosis
Like an unexpected shift of light across a landscape, the transitional space sometimes brings forth what you were not looking for at all - yet it is precisely such moments that begin to change the direction. Iceland becomes a ritual of passage, a place where inner fractures mirror the sharpness and the softness of the outer terrain in equal measure.
