Nostalgic candy lens

This image captures a poetic interplay between perception and memory. The hand-held glass sphere refracts the entrance of Cloetta’s former headquarters in Ljungsbro, inverting the scene and drawing the viewer into a miniature world where nostalgia meets modernity. The wet pavement and overcast sky add a melancholic softness, while the bold red “Cloetta” sign anchors the composition with a sense of identity and legacy. The crystal ball becomes a metaphor for reflection—both literal and emotional—inviting us to see familiar places through a new lens.

A quiet meditation on time and transformation. The image invites contemplation: how do we view the past, and how does the past view us? The sphere acts as a portal, distilling the essence of a place once central to a community and a brand. The hand, steady and deliberate, suggests human agency in preserving memory, while the blurred background evokes the inevitable drift of time.

The photograph is conceptually strong and visually compelling, with excellent use of depth and contrast. A slightly tighter composition or enhanced lighting could elevate it to perfection.
