‘I have known Arvida since 2012 when a mutual friend decided we had to know each other. I've known her as an artist, photographer, influencer, model, friend. At the beginning of 2020, we talked of going on a road trip through her native Sweden to shoot new work. When the pandemic made that impossible, we decided we would shoot it over wifi. Skype and FaceTime. She took me into dark fairytale forests, while I sat on my bed in Kentish Town directing her. I accompanied her through lockdown life - we walked her dog Pedro, tried on clothes and danced around the house. And I never left mine.’ - Valerie Phillips.
