This is the front cover I made for the fourth album of Norwegian band In Vain. The album title, Currents, reflects on the colossal shifts and changes of our time. The present world is characterized by continental flows of people, traditions and cultures. Migration of people across continents and borders. Cultures merging. Dramatic shifts in lifestyle from one generation to the next. These are all currents – movements that distort old patterns, create tensions as well as new opportunities. I find myself blocked in the eye of this storm, observing but without finding a suitable alternative or a way of finding my place in this chaos.
