I use photography’s illusion of reality to create a world where I can sift through my musings about life.

In the 17th century, Jan Davidsz de Heem painted a Still life that I like very much. The painting is now at the National museum in Stockholm and I look at it as often as I can. The flowers that it shows look so real. It is really as if the artist had them before him as he painted but that, I have been told, was not the case. Instead the painting is a compilation of sketches. The bouquet, hence, has never really existed. The picture is also filled with a number of symbolic references. But while these today have lost some of there relevance, the flowers still have a lot to say about life, love, loss and death. It is the experience of this painting, its composition and meanings that has been my point of departure when working with the Vanitas-series.
