Krumelur.

One of my favourite Swedish words. To somewhat find a resembling word in English I would say “A Squiggly-Wiggler” is the closest I can get. I simply cannot find a word that matches the meaning and feeling for krumelur. To explain it practically - it’s like when you were bored in school and you started to doodle a little swirl in the corner of a paper, it’s completely unnecessary… But it’s fun!


“Krumelurer” is a playful portrait series about aging and identity.

These images show seniors dressed in quirky, exaggerated characters photographed in a medium format with a mixture of analog and digital with the seriousness of early vintage studio portraits.

There’s something about aging that truly fascinates me. I find it incredibly beautiful how the bodies that we borrow to place our souls changes the shapes of how we look with time. What a privilege to be able to age.

The idea behind this series was that I wanted to capture the youthful energy inside an older body. Do we need to change our souls just because our bodies are changing?
