“Nature is Ancient,” is inspired by the art and music of native Icelander, Björk–enough so to compell a visit to the musician’s homeland. “Nature is Ancient” (which is also a song title from Björk’s third album, Homogenic) was photographed over the span of 12 hours in a single day while traveling along the Ring Road (a national road in Iceland that runs around the island and connects most of the inhabited parts of the country). The photo series documents the ever-changing and hauntingly beautiful volcanic landscapes of the Nordic island which has served as inspiration for musicians, filmmakers, photographers for generations–and for Icelandic lore for thousands of years.
