While we were in Lulea, visiting Elise’s brother David and his family, we took a few day trips to see the natural beauty of northern Sweden. One of those trips was to see Storforsen, one of Europe’s largest rapids, on the Pite River. This rapid is about 3 miles long and the volume of water that is rushing through is awesome.
On the trip, I certainly created many images of the thing we saw. But I knew I wanted to make a body of work that went beyond a travel journal. The last time we were together to see the whole family was in 14 years ago and who know when we will all get back together. With that in mind, I wanted to create portraits of the family members that will become a lasting record of our time together. What we saw is important but who we were with and how we felt together is just as important to remember.
