Weak Crown


Commissioned work for Suomen Kuvalehti, 2022

By the fall of 2023 Swedish Crown was so weak that it was relatively cheap to travel from Finland to Stockholm for shopping, when normally it would be relatively pricey. For the Sweeds the weak crown wasn’t an issue, they only notice it when going outside the country. Some luxury shops even benefited from the situation because some tourists travelled for cheaper prices when buying somethin more valuable like Rolex watches.
