The Forest in My Hand

This is what a perfect early autumn day in Sweden looks like, captured in a bubble. The deep, rich blue of the September sky, the evergreen pines standing tall, and the first golden tones of the season carpeting the forest floor are all preserved in this tiny, inverted world. Holding it up against the sun felt like holding a little sphere of pure happiness. It’s a photograph of not just a place, but a feeling—the feeling of a perfect, peaceful Friday afternoon spent getting lost in the beauty of nature and the simple joy of creating something beautiful.
