While this is an old image, 04/2005, I had not felt like showing it before so it’s new in that sense. [My equipment, and maybe my skill, at the time was not at a level to capture the moment as I wanted to capture it. So I shut it away in a folder till I was ready to accept it as is.]

That morning, looking into the water felt like looking up through a window in the ceiling of Helheim. The world to the sides was dominated by cold, darkness, and gravity. And world through the plane of the pool emanated warmth, color, and height. This is about looking through impassable barriers to a better world. The reorientation, choices of color, the paint like distorting effects of water and ice, another factors where chosen to get this concept across. I’ve done what I can in photoshop to overcome some of the technical limitations of the shot, still lots of grain though.

Similar themes animate new work like scrap photos 177 and 178, which partly brought this old work to my mind.
