„Breathing is easier in Sassnitz. There, a faster light and the leaves in May like butterflies on the delicate branches. The ground around the beeches seems closer, no need for escape. The muscles relax. Grey trees that know me: from the Carpathian Ridge I come, from a beech land left behind. In Sassnitz, a sea at the edge of the forest. It cannot snap at me. It throws back the light and knows all the greys. Then we stand at this edge with arms and branches and roots that grasp and nourish each other, and nothing hurts anymore.“ — Loredana Nemes

The photographs of the series “Greytree and Heavensea” by Loredana Nemes constitute a canon of aesthetic compositions and tell a story of endurance and rootedness of a century-old landscape, but also of delicacy and transience and of the secrets of water, light, and clouds at this place of longing.
