About this work

Slush deposited on the lower part of a window pane during snowing mixed with rain in Gåseberg, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. The slush was photographed as it accumulated, first in daylight, then in blue dusk and last at night illuminated from the outside by a sodium street light and a halogen floodlight, giving a mixed light source. The camera position is not exactly the same in each frame, since I just took the photos when I saw the slush growing on the window. The idea of doing a triptych came much later when I was processing the photos. The size of the photos are scaled to match the size of the "slush particles" since they were taken at different distances from the window. The relative height of the slush deposit is correct. As the slush hit the window, it slid downwards (causing some motion blur) and became more compacted.
