In 2012, the wolf returned to Denmark after nearly two hundred years of absence. In January 2026, the first wolf was legally shot in Denmark, the result of an intense debate about whether to allow wild nature back into an otherwise highly cultivated and controlled landscape, or to regulate and domesticate it. The project follows the wolf’s return and the consequences it has for both people and nature. On a deeper level, the wolf becomes a symbol of something larger: our understanding of nature itself.

The work seeks to unite the concrete and the spiritual, allowing nature to exist as both physical and existential at the same time. The images speak to our connection with nature without romanticising it. They hold both the fragile and the unsettling.

Photographed with a large-format camera, the project deliberately moves slowly in order to counter the otherwise fast-paced news cycle surrounding the subject. Through this slower method, nuance is allowed to emerge where it is often lost in favour of provocation and outrage.

Alongside the large-format photographs are images rephotographed from a small trail camera screen, preserving their visible pixels. These images interrupt the flow of the more composed photographs while pointing to the wolf as something rarely encountered directly, most often seen through the mediation of technology.
