Inspired by the Beatles’ song “Norwegian Wood”. If you look closely, you can see every narrative element of the lyrics hidden somewhere in the image.

"The flame in the model’s eye was created using a blown out candle: So I lit a fire /Isn't it good Norwegian wood?"

The water and wine imposed onto the model’s face were created in-studio using breath to create its movement: "I sat on a rug biding my time / Drinking her wine."

James created the final piece by using over 30 images woven together to create this mystical and energetic piece.
