“I am greatly influenced by the increasing density of the new neighborhoods and housing
developments that make up my surroundings. The combination of living in increasingly
smaller spaces and in closer proximity to others creates tension that I am interested in
exploring through exaggerating the architecture common to the buildings and structures
that make up these residential environments.

The environments depicted in my photographs are close to the actual but are not
completely accurate or exact copies of reality. The discrepancies between reality and
construct vary from subtle shifts in architecture to obvious voids that serve no apparent
function. I construct the situations I photograph as a way to challenge my understanding
of the buildings and neighborhoods I am referencing and I am interested in calling
attention to the function of the constructed model in relation to what the depicted subject
matter is proposing.

The type of structures I reference; apartments and houses, are structures that we have all
experienced in various and intimate ways. This level of familiarity is crucial, allowing
the environments created to resonate with the viewer and allow them to create parallels
between my visual interpretations and that which they have directly experienced in their
own reality.” Ross Sawyers

The water is the most remarkable. It carries bodies. Water is colour. The shimmer and the deep green. My challenge is to see the reality in a non-traditional light. When I am shooting pictures, I have a premonition that something strange is about to happen.

I follow the logic of colours, when I combine places, people and objects. To me the most important quality of photography is it´s capability to convey emotions.

 I suggest: imagine the details a bit further. Who is drawing trees in to the pond. When you touch the surface of the house it turns out to be your companion.

 I throw myself into a fictive reality in the shootings. My heart beats wildly when I can feel the presence of surprises. When you´re in love, but bid farewell to the channel. You forgot the ship and it sinks. When the fall is unreachable behind the grey sorrow.

 I want to narrate feelings like in novels. The reader of images gets a chance to handle her lost and encounters. There is a place for danger. Did you die when you saw the shadow of the bird?

The language is a map and draws around us, unknown and familiar.

I believe in a single image. It breaths strong.” Susanna Majuri

Amazing yes!?
