To me, this photograph is a reminder of how hard winter can be. The ice crystals along the thin stems seem almost parasitic, slowly taking over—beautiful, but also merciless; here, the cold feels like the enemy, and what remains above the snow seems especially fragile. I made the photograph in Länghem, Tranemo Municipality, beneath a clear January sky.
