I am an Icelandic writer and photographer whose work explores the relationship between land, memory, myth and the unseen.
My creative practice is deeply rooted in my Icelandic heritage, where landscape is never merely scenery but something alive with story, weather, elemental force and Icelandic folk belief. At times, these worlds seem to slip into one another, creating a kind of magical reality that feels both ancient and deeply relevant to the present.
Through writing and photography, I explore how places hold memory, how stories live in the land, and how deep listening to nature can reconnect us with ourselves. I am drawn to thresholds: between the visible and invisible; myth and lived experience; the human and the more-than-human world.
At a time when technology is moving faster than our inner lives can often follow, I feel that returning to nature, myth and the old ways of listening can sustain and enrich us. Stories and myths have been carried in the human psyche for millennia. They help us make meaning, remember who we are, and stay connected to the living world around us.
My work asks what happens when we stop treating landscape as background, and begin to meet it as a presence with its own voice, memory and wisdom.
