I don’t have enough memories yet.”—JH Engström, afterword. "JH Engström’s series *Trying To Dance* comprises a photojournalistic ‘diary’ of his life: landscapes, still lifes, self-portraits, and snapshots of friends become loosely narrative documents, recording not only the artist’s individual experiences but also a sensitive and provocative engagement with the world at large. Using photography’s ability to capture the fleeting essence of a moment, Engström connects specific spaces and moments with the unfixed reference of memory.”
