“This book is a visual encounter with the mountains, an attempt to unite the elements of nature through fine art photography and meditative texts. The photographer’s motifs are drawn from both familiar and lesser-known ranges across Norway. Mountains that have existed for millions of years yet still move and enrich people’s lives today. The words draw inspiration from the narrative in the themes of the photographs, observations of the writer and early Greek reflections on nature, bringing ancient perceptions of the world into our time and creating a dialogue between images and passages.” (Maria Hasselgård)

“The mountains of Orsolya Haarberg and Maria Hasselgård are not about conquest or triumph. No ascents across or along, no first climbs. They show us that mountains are more than terrain upon which we project our own greatness. On the contrary, mountains are spaces that reveal how small we are − platforms from which we may look outward, as well as inward.” (Stein P. Aasheim)

“Similarly to ancient philosophy, the mountain serves both as an image and a mirror. A place where we see ourselves in the light of nature where new perceptions may emerge and encourage our growth. Our aim is not that the reader will understand, but rather we hope to offer an experience, a sensation where image and words can meet within ourselves!” (Maria Hasselgård)
