02* ‘Soft Against Stone’ for MADNN MAG

 



02 ‘Soft Against Stone’

One roll of film, one body, one landscape. ‘Soft Against Stone‘ takes you on a photographic journey through the remote Westfjords of Iceland, tracing the threshold between humanity and nature.

In Nordic folklore, the Huldra is a hidden woman; half tree, half human, her name born of a word meaning “covered.” Using the Huldra as iconography, the series embodies this meeting point: both human and elemental, tender and untamed. It reflects the exchange between body and land — how the landscape leaves its mark upon us, and how we, in turn, inscribe ourselves upon it.

Shot on 35mm film, ‘Soft Against Stone‘ captures the quiet tension between what yields and what endures — the body as both witness and offering.
