DISSOLVING PATTERNS – Southern Norway
This series explores subtle interactions between water, organic matter, and movement in wetland streams of southern Norway. What appears as simple surface texture reveals a constantly shifting system—tannins, sediments, and natural foam forming layered patterns that drift, dissolve, and reassemble within seconds. At times, these structures appear almost static, resembling geological formations, stone-like surfaces, or even textures of wood and bark rather than flowing water.
I’m drawn to these ever-changing structures and have returned to the same locations repeatedly, following how they evolve over time. Photographing along these often muddy, wet, and unstable shorelines can be challenging, but that difficulty is part of the process—and also a bit of childlike fun. Working close to the surface and from above, scale becomes fluid—turning small sections into something that feels expansive and abstract.
