The haunting stillness of Swedish winter serves as the inspiration and backdrop for Markus Naarttijärvi’s debut monograph A Surrender. Shot over 1,000 consecutive days, Naarttijärvi navigates spaces stuck in a liminal twilight — somewhere between death and rebirth, where human industry dissolves into nature’s embrace. Each photograph is a step in a journey of appreciation between growth and decay, society and wilderness, resistance and surrender. With patience and persistence, Naarttijärvi transforms collapse and new growth into a meditation on impermanence.
