Shifting Views: Observations of a Changing Landscape

Iceland.

This work examines the relationship between Iceland's landscape in the South and the infrastructure that increasingly shapes how it is experienced. The work moves between expansive views and more descriptive observations, considering the roads, bridges, power lines, and interventions that sit within a landscape long associated with ideas of the sublime.

Rather than presenting Iceland as an untouched wilderness, the photographs focus on the ways the land has been adapted, accessed, and reconfigured through contemporary use. Tourism, mobility, and industrial development have altered both the physical landscape and the ways in which it is viewed, producing new relationships between natural formations and the structures that support their consumption.

Situated between the traditions of landscape photography and a more topographical approach, the project reflects on a landscape in transition, where infrastructure has become an increasingly visible presence within a place historically defined through notions of remoteness, scale, and natural spectacle.
