The Mystery of Hrafndís
In the vast, lonely landscapes of Iceland, an enigmatic figure known as Hrafndís, whose name means "crow goddess", embarks on a solitary and silent journey in search of the secrets hidden among the glaciers. Accompanied only by a raven as her guide and confidant, Hrafndís immerses herself in the icy tranquility in an attempt to merge with the very essence of the land. During her journey she discovers the dark secrets of nature and her own being.
Topics & More Information
Main three topics are: The connection with nature and the tranquility of exploration. The search for identity and purpose in a vast and mysterious world. The strength of the bond between a human being and an animal in a landscape of serenity.
These images are part of my new narrative photographic series of self-portraits taken in various locations in Iceland during February 2024. The photographs were taken with a camera on a tripod using remote shutter and also with a drone. In the month of March 2024, I published a news story showing a preview of the making of, I leave you the link here in case you want to watch it! This is the photographic series that so far and in my entire photographic career has been the greatest challenge for me to make, especially due to climate issues. And, it has also been the most expensive to develop, we all know that a trip to Iceland is not cheap.
The series is complemented by a tale I wrote, which I have translated into three languages: English, Spanish and German. In the future I will publish a photobook that will contain all the artworks of this series and the tale in its three languages, all in one book. Stay tuned!
Series in progress, but almost finished. I will publish all the artworks little by little.
