“This artwork is part of my series Elsewhere, which takes an introspective dive into my own immigrating journey to Finland, and the feelings of isolation consequently involved, using the landscape as a tool for emotional catharsis. I present a space for contemplation, interwinding elements of poetic narration, infrared photography and references to pictorialism. It reflects upon the deeper material connection between landscape and image-making through an exploration of traditional printing techniques like photopolymer etching and the use of handmade Japanese paper. This series didn’t intend to explore the landscape in a traditional way, but rather as a metaphorical projection, reflecting internal processes of physical and spiritual displacement as an immigrant, working in the in-between space of natural and imaginary landscapes.”
