Archipelago

Skärgården

A visual journal of passing moments

Skärgården
Nothing in the archipelago ever appears quite the same twice. The water shifts, the weather turns and the light is always changing. Every photograph in Archipelago Journal belongs to a moment that existed only once, shaped by everything that came before it and already giving way to what comes next. Together, they form a visual journal of days spent among the islands of Stockholm.
