“Not only America, but the whole world is going through a lotto turmoil and change in 2022. It has become clear that our futures, our social contracts, our ideas of live and perception of personal security and expression are not as stable and predictable as we want to believe. But not everything is turmoil, threats and geopolitics. There is also the good moments and the hope and light, that we create and witness every day, and that we should not forget to see and value. Many people, especially our essential worker have done the impossible to support and rescue and uplift all of us. And there is the special freedom and spirit of the American summer. The beaches, and the beautiful cities and beautiful people. To me, summer time in the US, when the light is golden and people are outside healing from their hard work, their worries and the long, cold winter month, is especially sacred and beautiful. Everything and everyone looks a little more radiant and joyful. In 2022 in my neighborhood people are a little more grateful about the little things than usually. People are outside with their friends and children and together healing their pandemic wounds and their souls in the sun light.

The American summer is still and probably forever one of the most beautiful, joyful and heart breaking places in my heart . American summer 01 is a meditation on the beauty of the American summer, American people, the beaches, and the cities. ” ( EB, 2022 about American Summer)
