If you've been on goth tumblr for a hot minute, you might not know the name Nona Limmen, but you've seen her beautiful photography.

“Shadow work, dreams, the unspoken, mythology, the occult, that's where my art is born.

Sometimes, it feels like my work has roots in two worlds: the world of the seen and the unseen. My photography isn’t super crisp or glossy, nor is it overly staged or planned. They are worlds created for the dreamers, the late bloomers, the misunderstood, and those who are going through times of hardship. It is for anyone nostalgic for arms that have never held them.

My wish for my art is to heal and encourage others, to make them feel seen, heard, and understood -that it triggers to engage the viewer in a very personal inner dialogue, whether positively or negatively. Something that evokes strong emotions or has a significant impact on them. I hope that my work leaves a mark in one way or another.”
