South of France
Osma Harvilahti

In the evening, moist air slowly rises from the surrounding mountains, gradually covering the sun. The intense summer sunlight softens into a gentler glow. These photographs were taken at that time of day beside the pool of our house in the south of France.

 

I wanted to work with that light, enjoying the play of form and shadow. I love walking around with random objects in my pockets, arranging them here and there and seeing what emerges. As I played with them, it began to feel as though I were in conversation with the materials and forms themselves.
