Ulla Lohmann is brave. She feels compelled to explore, and this has taken her on countless journeys and seen her standing at the edge of – and inside – flaming volcanos, camera in hand. But at present she is isolating at her mother’s house, surrounded by reminders of her childhood. Paintings she made when she was 10 years old are still gracing the walls. It is, perhaps, appropriate then that Ulla should be in a place that is filled with memories as she talks about the impermanent nature of life, motherhood and finding joy in the moment.
