Iceland: Reimagined

I visited Iceland in 2006, some 18 years ago by now. My memories of this enchanted place are bound up with its landscapes. Vast open spaces, open skies, mountains, streams and ponds, barren black rocks, volcanic sands, mossy stones, crashing ocean waves … tiny horses … beautiful people … rock formations that turn into living trolls at night if touched by moonlight … soft misty light on some days, harsh sunny contrasts on others. All of these have now melded together in my mind. Everything I remember is now refracted through time and distance. … As such, I re-imagined and re-edited the photos from my trip in ways that feel more authentic, in retrospect. I’ve paired and grafted together various sets of images, and I’ve re-framed them in a 1:2 aspect ratio, in keeping with traditional Asian scroll paintings … an aspect ratio that is meant to emphasize the conjointment of Earth and Sky.
