Growing up in a Nordic country, I used to take it for granted that snow would cover the ground every winter, yet already during my life, the world and the climate have undergone a drastic change.
The work follows a day where the memories of winters in my childhood come back to me in my dream—as if my mind was trying to escape the absence of snow in reality.
Through photography, writing, and sound, the work explores how the changing climate and the new kind of uncertainty surrounding the winter months can cause complex emotional responses.
