Happy international women's day to all the powerful and amazing women out there that I know, irl or (still) only online, who makes our world a better, stronger and more equal place day by day ❤️✊🏼❤️
I just found out belatedly that I made it as a Fin I just found out belatedly that I made it as a Fine Art finalist with this image from my 2020 lockdown series "Locked Away" in the @FotoNostrum x Worldwide Photography Gala Awards 'Lockdown Competition' and has been published in the current issue (12) of FotoNostrum Magazine (fotonostrummag.com)

A HUGE thanks to the jurors and editors! 🖤🙏🏼🖤

Text from the magazine:
"As the world faced the first lockdowns and we all entered into the unknown, artists started to document what a day in 2020 was like for them. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, months of isolation and confusion.
 
Art has had to reinvent and question itself in ways we had not imagined before. From the digitalization of mediums to capturing everyday images from one’s immediate proximity, artists faced unprecedented technical, financial, and artistic challenges.
 
Photography, whether it be fine art or documentary, changed drastically in the year 2020. The Lockdown competition was launched during the first wave of COVID 19, receiving
images dated between January 23, 2020 (when the lockdown started in China), and the submission date.
 
The thousands of images received from all over the world showed a common pattern of creativity, emotions and commotions. The images speak for themselves, no captions are necessary, and in the respective statements of the submitting artists, some words were repeated over and over again: Self-isolation, Restriction, Boredom, Loneliness, Stress, Bubble, Tolerance, Mutual help, Anxiety, Fear, Introversion, Silence, Emotions, Commotion, Escape, Reality, Surreal, Monotony, Vulnerability."

"Transitions" - from 'The emerging body' series, 2019⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"The Emerging Body" was a very personal exploration of my journey from a body locked down by abuse and depression to learning to love the skin I'm in.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All images were deliberately shot in our bathroom - probably the room where we are most vulnerable, naked in more than the literal sense. My intention was to shine a light on the raw and generally hidden side of depression and assault; the fight to stay on top which we don't win every day..⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

About today's weather 🖤❄️🖤
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had the most amazing quiet, frosty, foggy morning today here on Ærø, so I ventured out to create a few images for an in-progress series... but couldn't help pointing the camera everywhere - because... beautiful!! So here are a few handfuls of foggylicious behind-and-around-the-scene captures :)
