About On the Islet

Given free rein to interpret a stamp motif for Åland Post, visual artist Carolina Sundelin was inspired by the floral splendour and vegetation on the archipelago islets around Åland. As starting point, she chose chives which grow wild on many Åland islands and which Carolina thinks of as “the lavender of the Nordics”. The stamp features several of the flowers that thrive in the Åland archipelago, including chives, tansy, goldmoss stonecrop, sea campion, sea aster, and purple loosestrife.
