• Hopepunk in Practice / Hopepunk i Praktiken

    Building Spaces of Hope in an Age of Noise (På Svenska Nedan) We live in a time rich in information, yet often poor in orientation.

  • Mapping Presence Across Time / Närvaro genom tidens lager

    Hilma af Klint painted for a future she would never see.(På svenska nedan) When the Swedish visual artist died in 1944, she was convinced the world was not ready for her work—mystical, abstract paintings that seemed to belong to another time.

  • An Imagined Exchange, a Quiet Kinship

    An Imaginary Exchange of Letters between Engla Hägertz and Tyra Kleen (Läs blogposts på svenska HÄR) In an ongoing artistic exploration, I have imagined fictional correspondences between Engla Hägertz and other artistic voices from her time.

    (På svenska nedan) The Day between worlds On the Equinox, and the quiet balance that moves through everything There are moments in the year that do not arrive with noise, yet carry a quiet, almost ancient significance.

  • Olympics Awarded Gold for a Painting / OS Delade ut Guld för en Målning

    (På Svenska Nedan) Stockholm, summer 1912. The stadium is filled with jubilation. Spectators rise as runners break through the finish line, white hats glinting in the sunlight, flags moving slowly in the warm air. Bodies are stretched to their limits, concentration dense as the summer heat above the stands. Here, the world is measured in…

  • When Objects Begin to Speak/ När föremål börjar tala

    A deep dive into still life (på svenska nedan) Still life is often described as quiet.But when you spend time with objects long enough, they begin to speak. This week’s work was not about capturing a moment, but about building one — arranging, waiting, adjusting light until something unseen settled into place. The image emerges…

  • Seeing More Slowly /  Att Se med Långsamhet

    Seeing More Slowly — On Photography, Time, and Image Analysis (På Svenska Nedan) I am currently attending a photography program, not primarily to learn how to take better photographs, but to rediscover how to see. Under the guidance of photographer Robert Wållberg, we are encouraged to approach photography more consciously — exploring composition, light, atmosphere,…
