The sea at dawn, still cold

Tove, 26, from Tromsø, Norway. I make ceramics by hand, sometimes for films, mostly for myself. My pieces are a bit… wonky, but I like them. At 2 AM, my mind usually drifts to fjord geology or an obscure Sámi myth, which I’m always happy to share, given the chance. I find beauty in slow things: moss, tide cycles, the quiet hum of a pottery wheel. Give me a good bookshop and a cold dip in the ocean, and I’m content. Small talk eludes me, but I can monologue about fermented vegetables for hours.
