" Tyra was only 18 when she entered Upperud's manor. She had traveled from Vänersborg to seek employment as a secretary for the patron at the historic ironworks. The patron became very fond of Tyra and she got the job and moved into an adjacent house called the Hunter's Building. Tyra performed her job with great skill and a love grew between the secretary and her patron. The new love was kept secret as it was not accepted due to their class difference. When the patron's mother died, he had Tyra move into the manor, where his five unmarried sisters also lived. The pastor pointed out that the patron was living in sin, which only led to the patron missing Sunday sermons. Tyra was never allowed to marry her patron, but their forbidden love lived on for the rest of their lives. At night, he took her on rowing trips in the moonlight. They rowed through a small, hidden canal in the hope that no one would see them. In popular parlance, the canal began to be called Tyra's Canal, and that is still its name today."

“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 work is inspired by a true story or life story. Andreas and Annie have made their own interpretation of these stories and sometimes they have changed the time period 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 Silent Stories art project started in 2016. Each work is signed and numbered in a limited edition. The stories that the photographs have been inspired by are attached to the back of the works.
