When Tami regained consciousness, she was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The cabin was filled with water and wreckage floated around her. Her face was bloody and the last thing she remembers was her fiance shouting "Oh my God". Now all was quiet and she was alone. 27 hours earlier they had sailed into the hurricane's 12 meter high waves. The boat capsized and the mast came off. All instruments were knocked out and the boat took on water. But it still floated. A watch, a few cans of sardines and a sextant would be her salvation. In great grief and determined to survive, she navigated the sun and stars with the sextant. After drifting 41 days at sea, against all odds, she reached the coast of Hawaii. Mayaluga is Swazi and means "The one who travels over the horizon".

"Silent Stories" is an art project created by husband and wife Andreas Lundberg and Annie Vesterdahl Lundberg. Andreas is a photographer with a background in advertising, fashion and documentary photography. Annie is a hairdresser, make-up artist and, in the project, also a stylist. Each piece is inspired by a true story or fate. Andreas and Annie have made their own interpretation of these stories and sometimes they have changed the era and place. The creative process is often long and exciting, a constant search for a story that they can fantasize about and turn into a work of art. Hundreds of sketches that are turned and twisted eventually become a photograph. The art project Silent Stories started in 2016. Each work is signed and numbered in a limited edition. The stories that inspired the photographs are attached to the back of the works.
