Vegårsheia is a small county located 200km south-west of the capital of Oslo.

I began roaming these areas when I was just a kid. My family has a cabin located in Vegår, and it's also where my photography journey started at just 10 years old.

When on location with my drone this February, I noticed these interesting patterns in the ice, that could have possibly have been formed by underwater currents, and holes left from ice fishing.

The swirly patterns reminded me of van Gogh's “The Starry Night” and it inspired me to create my own modern take of his masterpiece.
