Transforming Landscapes is an ongoing intervention and photography project that began during a month-long residency in Kakslauttanen in Finnish Lapland in 2022.
By felling tree trunks and moving them sideways and cutting branches in a precise horizontal line, we create a minimal irritation and transform what appears to be a natural landscape into one artificially altered by humans.
We want to draw attention to man's persistent need, worldwide, to enter a natural cycle and subjugate it for economic motives. We invite viewers to question whether the human-manipulated forest is still an attractive, functioning habitat and how we will deal with the resulting consequences in the long term.
