Between ice and waves – encounters with the forces of the sea

Cold and movement – two opposites that have fascinated me for a long time. Before Greenland, I experienced ice: monumental, silent and with an almost supernatural presence. Every iceberg has its own story, shaped by time, wind and light. They drift silently through the sea, as if embodying silence itself.

​

The coasts of Europe are completely different – where waves crash against rocks and beaches with tireless force. Dynamism, rhythm, energy. Here, the sea is loud, lively, full of movement.

​

Between these two extremes – the tranquillity of the ice and the turbulence of the water – lies, for me, the essence of the sea as a force of nature. This gallery shows images that were taken between these two poles: snapshots of form, power and transience.
