Summary

A photographer describes the process of capturing an image of himself in a freezing waterfall in Jotunheimen, Norway, as part of a trilogy documenting his struggle with mental health and OCD. He explains that the stunts, such as being in freezing water, provide moments of numbness and release from intense anxiety, and his work also aims to depict the relationship between humans and nature.
