Girl and Badger, Art Print

Girl and Badger, photographic art, 2010, Sweden 

Photographed by Jenny Brandt in 2010, Southern Sweden.

This evocative image captures the quiet gravity of a gray October day by a country road. A 4-year-old girl stands still, her gaze fixed on the ground, where a lifeless badger lies—its iconic white stripe mirrored in the surrounding scene. The girl's outfit is an arresting blend of innocence and nostalgia: a checkered shirt peeks out from beneath a vintage ballerina tutu, its strap slipped off her shoulder to reveal a striking contrast. Her ruby red slippers add a pop of color to the otherwise muted palette, grounding the image in whimsy against the somber backdrop.   DETAIL 

The scene is rich with symbolism—white stripes echo across the frame, from the badger’s head to the road’s markings, to the streak on the girl’s arm. In the distance, a lone telephone wire cuts through the darkening sky, a relic of a landscape caught between past and present.

The mood is contemplative and bittersweet, offering a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the fragile connections between life, death, and the passing of time. This photograph is not just an image; it is a story waiting to be felt.
