STARMAN

I don’t experience the world in its default colors. As a storyteller and filmmaker, my eyes have always functioned as lenses, the world passing through them becomes a film, shaped by light, atmosphere, and emotion rather than documentation.

For me, Norway is not merely a destination; it is a frequency. When I encountered it, I didn’t just see mountains and snow, but a place charged with memory, stories told long before us, still resonating in the land. A territory where the natural and the mythical coexist without explanation.

Starman is not an attempt to alter or improve Norway’s beauty. Its power already exists, untouched and undeniable. What this work seeks is not transformation, but translation, rendering the landscape as I experience it. Through heightened color, contrast, and texture, I push the imagery toward the way it feels rather than the way it is expected to look. The result drifts into dream logic: cinematic, saturated, and slightly unreal.

This is my vision of the “City of God”: a fairytale of light where mountains become monuments, wildlife becomes legend, and the environment itself feels alive.

Music has always been the heartbeat of my work, and these images function as a visual soundtrack. Whales surface like apparitions. Reindeer glow as if suspended between worlds. The sky behaves less like background and more like presence.

Drawing inspiration from the cosmic freedom of David Bowie, Starman reflects the idea that there is always something larger just beyond reach. As Bowie suggested, there’s a starman waiting in the sky,not as a figure, but as a feeling. Seeing the auroras for the first time made me feel a boundless sense of wisdom in nature. A reminder that wonder persists, and that the world remains strange, luminous, and profoundly beautiful. 

This collection is not about observing Norway.

It is about feeling it.
