Longing for Landscape
After spending long periods abroad, I began to notice a quiet pull inside me — a kind of longing that surfaced from somewhere deeper than memory. The Wadden Sea kept returning to me in thoughts and images: its shifting light, its slow tidal breath, the wide horizon that feels like home.
When I’m far from this landscape, a certain restlessness appears, almost physical. It’s as if my body remembers what my mind tries to move beyond. The North becomes a compass, a place that continues to shape me even when I am elsewhere.
Lanskips Langst follows that feeling of distance and return. These photographs explore how landscape can become a quiet form of longing, a place that continues to live in you, no matter how far you travel.
