Both professionally and personally it means a lot to me. As an artist based in Sweden it feels gratifying to have the acknowledgement from an institution so close to home. On a personal level it was the first photography museum I ever visited and from that day I dreamed of having an exhibition at Fotografiska.

The vast majority of the models in my images are friends who work professionally with their bodies. I just asked people nicely and most of them said they would be happy to be part of the project. With approaching nudity I’m always upfront and go through my ideas before we get started to make sure everyone is comfortable.

My dance background has absolutely informed my photographic works. It feels more like a continuation with using a different medium to express body language. Photography had always been a passion of mine documenting friends in dance performances and it was a very natural transition to choreograph for images and build the world I could see in my head.

My choice to be somewhat anonymous was to give space to my artistic work and not let the images become all about me. When I started sharing my work on social media I thought many people were more interested in who the artist was than the art itself. Hopefully the images speak for themselves and I don't need to share what I had for breakfast to make it interesting!

Having worked professionally as a contemporary dancer for a number of years I felt the body was not well represented in the mainstream. The status quo is sex sells and nudity equals sex and the I wanted to show how the nude body does not always need to be sexualised - like how commercials use models to sell products. My work sets out to give an alternate voice and reclaim the body from the corporate establishment.

In some ways I think artists censoring our works for social media platforms actually add to the problem yet without artists on these applications challenging these archaic attitudes the situation would most likely be worse. I hate censoring my images, as by blurring something that's does not need to be hidden makes the image look sexualised or pornographic. I’ve been removed and reinstated on Instagram nine times and I am in a constant state of being shadow banned (Instagram hides your posts) - so this definitely restricts my ability to reach even the people who choose to follow me.

I hope my works gives people the chance to view the body in a humorous and light-hearted way without feeling like it is something naughty or taboo.

Seeing photography on paper is a very different experience than scrolling on your phone. A book cements the project and allows the reader to follow the story you carefully curate page by page. I see different messages in images when I look at them in print and spend longer with each image. Books slow you down and social media makes everything flash by in a split second.

Boys! Boys! Boys! is a publication by editor Ghislain Pascal of The Little Black Gallery–who also happens to represent my work. Being part of his project helps connect my images to other artists working on similar themes. A really wonderful network has blossomed and many of the artists have now become friends from all over the world.

Right now I’m shooting my new series that is focused on the freedom of movement reconnecting to my dance background. I’m learning to rediscover my love of movement and adapting my photographic style to accommodate my new vision. To launch with this series I will rework a dance I choreographed in 2019 to be shown alongside the images at exhibitions. I hope to premiere the work in mid 2024.
