This idea is from a drawing from one of my favourite artist Hugleikur Dagsson. And the idea for the drawing comes from Depeche Mode song Personal Jesus so it kind of goes with the musical theme of this series. This is the last image for this series at least for now. I might continue it...

This one took some editing time. I made the hole from XPS foam and added several textures to it. Skeleton hands were taken individually using my full-size skeleton. I could have done the broken rope when shooting but the idea arrived at me when editing. So I cut and unthreaded the rope and shot it...

I made this cross with strings for the life of an artist series. I just removed the “flags” and it was ready for this image. I was first thinking about hooks like in real body suspension but decided to go to a more surreal route by ropes blending to the body. You are like a...

During the shoot, I noticed I did not have made the hood for this idea. I quickly made it from an old bedsheet with textile glue and the shoot could continue. Bullet holes were made later to my favourite building material, the XPS foam. It feels like you are at the front of the firing...

The column is a 30-year-old deodorant bottle that I found from the drawers. The scale was spot on for the 1:6 scale models that I have been using in this series. I would have used it anyway but it was a happy accident. Heart and the glass dome are 1:1 scale and were on a...

I made this image without the clock and it was so low balanced that I didn’t like it. I left the image and started thinking if there is anything to add. Doomsday clock seemed to fit the theme and I found this clock from the personal stock I have gathered over the years (phone capture...

I have used these theatrical masks before. I like the look and symbolism that they have, so I keep using them. They were a bit unattached to the image, so I sent the image to a couple of other photographers for an opinion. After the discussion, smoke was added to tie things up. It is...

I got this idea when making the three monkeys image. I thought that clouds might look good on the sides. The idea went to the sketchbook and I took the shot in the later shoot. All you hear is silence. All you feel is numbness. All you see is emptiness.

I had heart-shaped balloons but I guess they were old since they did burst when I tried to blow air into them. Well, it was quite easy to edit the normal balloon to look like one. So much cry. So much pain. Still missing you, my only one.

Last of the XPS miniatures used in these images. This time the bathtub of stone. I was sitting on our balcony in 2019 and looked at the sky. It was a good cloud day, so I fetched my camera and took about one hundred cloud images during the day. Images are used as brushes or...

I just love using masks in my images. You just can use them in so many ways to tell stories. And for this image, there is plenty of them. Again a different role for today. Too scared to be yourself. Playing something you think others want to see. But it is just your empty shell.
