Núna /Ima

Artbook

Created in collaboration with photographer Thomas Fleckenstein, Núna / Ima is a photographic essay that captures my ongoing dialogue with nature — a visual reflection on landscape, rhythm, and the quiet exchange between material and place.

The book offers a contemplative view into the environments where I work and gather my dyes, tracing the subtle connections between colour, land, and time. It is less a documentation of process and more a way of seeing — an attempt to listen to the landscape through image and texture.

Printed in Iceland and designed by Sítrus Studio, the book was released in Kyoto to coincide with my solo exhibition Núna / Ima at Elbereth .
Limited to 100 copies, it stands as a companion to the exhibition — a quiet record of the dialogue between land, craft, and process.
