Ruccola
Formed from a macro photograph of a single arugula blossom, Ruccola transforms the flower’s delicate architecture into a kaleidoscopic, cross-shaped motif.
Mirroring the natural veins and curves, the work turns a humble bloom into a graphic botanical mandala — a quiet study of geometry, structure, and the hidden beauty within nature’s smallest details.
“This work is entirely photographic. It originates from my macro photograph of an arugula blossom taken in my garden.
The kaleidoscopic form comes only from symmetrical mirroring — a photographic compositional technique that keeps the organic textures intact.
Arugula belongs to the Brassicaceae family, traditionally called ‘cruciferous’ or cross-bearing plants. Exploring this idea, I shaped the image into a cross-like pattern where the natural veins and petal structures reveal an unexpected geometric beauty.
No drawing or AI was used — the entire motif comes purely from the real flower.”

The Flow
A monochrome study of moss sporophytes and rain, The Flow captures the quiet movement of life in its most delicate form. Stripped of colour, the image becomes an inner landscape — a space for imagination, guided by sensations, rhythm, and the subtle pulse of nature’s smallest elements.
A meditative work about continuity, connection, and the gentle current that moves through all living things.
Dawn Dreams
At the break of dawn, dewdrops awaken on the grass, shimmering like fragments of a fading dream. “Dawn Dreams” captures that fragile moment between night and day — when reality still breathes the rhythm of sleep, and the new day begins with a whisper of light and colour.
Part of the “Wonderland Under Our Feet” collection, the work invites the viewer to rediscover the quiet poetry hidden in the smallest details of nature.
Caught by Ursa
“Ursa holds a special place in my world. This constellation, the main one in the northern sky, was always visible from my childhood window. And I still find it in the night sky here in Sweden. It feels like a center — a point of connection, linking past and present, earth and cosmos, inner world and outer reality.” — Inna Etuvgi
“Caught by Ursa” is a fine art macro photograph by Inna Etuvgi, capturing a fleeting illusion in a drop of morning dew. Light flares form a shape reminiscent of the Big Dipper — or Ursa Major — gently gathering the dewdrops like a spoon collecting gems. But these are not just droplets of water; they hold fragments of nature’s dreams, left behind after its morning awakening.
This visual myth unfolds not in the night sky, but beneath our feet. The dew-soaked grass becomes a fragment of the cosmos, where light, memory, and imagination converge in a quiet moment of wonder.
Part of the Wonderland Under Our Feet series, this work invites viewers to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the extraordinary in the most delicate details of the natural world.
