Colder days are here. The tones are cooler. Nature is preparing for winter.

We welcome the new season. We are ready to move on. I am ready to move on.

With Kohti talvea, Towards the Winter, I combine abstract nature-based photographs that embrace blur and motion to evoke my state of mind and the roller-coaster of emotions I have recently gone through. Some of the photographs include fragments of text from the letters written by my grandmother, which she sent home while she was stuck on a ship thousands of kilometers away from home in the 1950s. Last autumn, I looked at these letters with fresh eyes and found myself relating to what she was going through: uncertainties, longing, and ambiguity.
