The series includes glass sculptures, brass sculptures, linen hangings, and paper intaglio.
Through these works, I want to reflect on the soul’s journey during the dark times of Kaamos, a reflection of our own search for meaning and identity in periods of darkness and uncertainty in our lives.
This 'Soul' series, I've been working with for the past two years, is inspired by an old Baltic-Finnish belief of humans having three souls and how one of these souls can get lost in the forests or swamps.
The chosen monochromatic aesthetic accentuates the polarity between the visible and hidden elements. The integration of organic, abstract forms with raw textures evokes the primal character of swamps as cradles of life and reservoirs of unaltered wilderness.
