Eternal Pain

This striking image depicts a dramatic and intense scene set in a dimly lit room. The focal point is a seated figure, restrained and blindfolded, suggesting themes of confinement and vulnerability. The figure is dressed in a simple white outfit which contrasts starkly with the surrounding dark environment, evoking a sense of isolation. The silhouette of another hand emerges from the shadows, holding a gun that seems to release a cloud of smoke, adding tension and an air of danger to the composition. The overall mood is one of suspense and intrigue, inviting viewers to ponder the story behind the image and the underlying emotions at play.
This artwork is ideal for enhancing modern interior spaces such as contemporary living rooms, art galleries, or even private collections that explore themes of human experience and psychological tension. Its powerful imagery could serve as a compelling conversation starter, making it perfect for spaces where thought-provoking art is appreciated.

Image from my "The Dark Room" series - I got my first inspiration for this series while listening to my favourite metal band, Sentenced. It evolved to a collection of images of what a dark mind might look like from the inside. All the destructive thoughts that circulate in your brain and feelings that bring you down. The dark room inside of your own head. After I began to put images online, comments that said some of these images remind them of their own thoughts started to appear. Especially feelings that the covid-19 isolation has brought to the surface for many people. This series continues my work on images that handle mental health issues. In 2009 I was forced to retire from daily work because of depression. Since then, photography has played a significant role in my life as a therapy. Many people might think that images as dark as these get you down, but it's the contrary. And here we come back to the metal band Sentenced, whose songs started this series. They often had very dark and touching lyrics. After the band had retired, I read that several fans told them that their songs saved their lives.
