The Fishermen's wives is a works series inspired by my grandmothers, both of which had husbands that were fishermen in the Icelandic waters. They will all be faces of fishermen wives that calmly wait for their husband's return from the sea; this is the emotion I want to show. It was a hard life for many because the weather was often harsh, unforgiving and cold as ice. They could never know for sure if their loved ones would come home safe.
