ARTIST STATEMENT

ARTIST STATEMENT

Inna Etuvgi, rooted in Sweden, delves deep into the macroworld, capturing its nuanced beauty that often goes unnoticed. Starting her self-taught journey in 2020, her prowess quickly garnered attention, earning her a spot as an Arte Laguna Prize 16 finalist and recognition from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee in 2023. Her esteemed works are featured in "PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE VISUAL CULTURE" 22/23 and are cherished in private collections worldwide.

 

Drawing inspiration from her Arctic roots and Chukchi heritage, Etuvgi underscores the unsung heroes of our ecosystem, exemplified by the pivotal role of Cladonia Stellaris lichen. Through her macro photographs, she offers a glimpse into nature's hidden gems, reminding us of the inherent beauty and significance of every detail in nature.

 

Navigating life with Aphantasia: Etuvgi’s mind doesn't visualise, but it pulsates with vivid concepts, emotions, and sensations; she uses a camera to externalise her internal experience. Through her dew-centric compositions, Etuvgi probes the nuances of human consciousness, urging an exploration of our dual sentient existence within the tangible and conceptual realms.

 

Beyond merely showcasing nature's intricacies, through her art, Etuvgi reminds viewers: “While our perspectives may differ, we are all integral threads in the grand tapestry of Nature. Showcasing the little beings of Nature in a size relevant to ours, I aim to evoke the idea that even these small beings have the same value as we do and that we are all part of Nature. I invite views to become sentients in the world of Nature”.
