The three figures walk beneath the shadow of Johanneskirken, a church damaged by ground instability and worsened by the 1904 Oslo earthquake. Eventually closed for services, the church stands as a ghostly reminder of a bygone era. The image’s soft, misty atmosphere imparts a dreamlike quality, as if the scene is from another age.

Technical Details: At a size of 4912×6899, the image captures the details of this timeless transition between the old and the living. Olaf's handling of light and shadow, coupled with his ability to utilize soft focus, creates an image that is both concrete and mystical, open to interpretation and reflection.
