Story & Message:

Melting. An artist is not the sole creator of an artwork. Whenever someone looks at a piece and tries to make sense of it, the individual adds layers of meaning through personal interpretation, background, and cultural experiences. The meaning of an artwork then becomes a conversation and negotiation between the artist’s intention and the viewer’s perception. The same can be said about our interactions with anything and anyone in life. While we can be experiencing and sharing the same moment together with another person, we can also both derive different meanings and memories of the encounter. We are constantly involved in co-creating the reality around us.

From my project “The Dark Days of the Soul”

"The Dark Days of the Soul" is inspired by the darkness of Finnish winter and the limited ability to physically change places due to the situation in the world. In times like that new opportunities to travel arise. It’s a different kind of travel though, it’s a journey within.

Each work covers a particular state of mind that I translate into a visual form. Some of them are truly dark, some are bright, but this is how the duality of life works: we wouldn’t be able to see light without the darkness.
