Islands.
Islanders.
Surrounded by water 
All around, the four sides of the sea melt and form a deep 360° boundary, encapsulation.

“Fifty islands I have not visited and never will” Last summer I bought that book (thank you for the hint, Rolf). It was like flipping through imaginary experience. Little did I know that 4 months later, I will be sitting in four different planes one way to reach one of the most remote places on earth: Marquesas Islands.

“Six islands I have not visited but tomorrow I will“- I said to myself. I was drawned to islands before. And even visited many before I had my own boat. Attraction was not conscious

Wecome to my ISLAND project and blog. I am drawn to islands. I am also somehow scared of them.

Below you can CLICK IMAGES to open island universe from different places. The last one is from Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia where I spent Christmas and New Years’25.

Two years ago I wrote about Ungdomsøen close to the Copenhagen shore in Denmark. An artificial island, built for military.

Military likes occupying islands, of course.

Last year I wrote about Hel, a peninsula in Poland where on its very tip 2 different waters meet.

Then I participated in my friend Saoirse’s artistic radio program describing a trip to Easter Island that I never took! It was an aesthetic storytelling in form of a FORWARD MEMORY (you coined that word, Christian)

Then I bought myself a ‘Pocket Atlas of remote islands‘.

The end of Indian Summer I went alone to Isles of Scilly on the absolutely west-south end of England.

Finally, Marquesas-Islands in the middle of Pacific Ocean was the most crazy and complicated travel endeavour in my entire life. And I wrote about my experiences after I arrived home safe.
