Of this new series, Eeva Karhu writes, `Walking my path and picking up the details I collect the memory of my time on the walk.

Nature is changing during the different seasons. Light varies depending on the time of the day. The most significant shift is in the leaves of the trees and the colours around me. My cognition plays an important role of what I see and how I see my surroundings. My feelings and thoughts colour the view and affect the atmosphere around me - we are in everlasting dialogue.

My way of working is similar to as before: I walk the same circular path and take photographs looking towards the horizon. The difference with this series is that I use a new technique while combining them: collage. Fragments of each photograph create the final image.

Before I was compressing time, now I am collecting fragments of it.
