“It varies from picture to picture. The narrative level of the images and that they tell a story, so to speak, is not really important to me in some works, but in others it makes sense. For example, the reference for the Tove By the Sea image is the novel Dependence by Danish writer Tove Ditlevsen. When I read it, I had the moment depicted in mind. So, in this case the title of the picture has something to do with the novel and it’s then of course something that I can tell when I show the picture. But in other works, that isn’t necessarily the case and it may have been created in a completely different way. That said, it’s actually not really important to me. It’s more important that the picture turns out well.” (Axel Jonsson, 2023)
