Alone at Sea(2005)

Statement:

Alone at Sea is a collection of photographs from my ancestral homeland in Sweden and from Minnesota where I grew up. The images depict not only the specific geographies of these two places, but also my exploration of the landscape as a site for the connections between home, history and personal identity. The images are a record of my response. As such, the landscape becomes more than a collection of physical characteristics. It becomes a back drop for feelings of familiarity, projected memory and emotional resonance.
