Pour shit down your neck

This thought-provoking artwork depicts a figure in a stark, industrial environment, crawling beneath a large metallic pipe. The figure, dressed in a simple white garment, appears vulnerable and weary, symbolizing a struggle against oppressive circumstances. The dim lighting casts shadows that enhance the dramatic atmosphere, while the overall color scheme of muted grays and whites emphasizes the bleakness of the setting. The intricate details of the pipes contrast with the smoothness of the figure’s skin, creating a poignant visual narrative about resilience and hardship.
This striking piece of art would work well in modern or minimalist interiors, particularly in spaces such as art galleries, contemporary living rooms, or even corporate environments looking to spark conversation. It could also serve as a powerful statement piece in a meditation or reflection room, inviting viewers to contemplate deeper themes.

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.
