Artwork description:

'Portal' is an art photo of a dewdrop between two grass blades, captured in Sweden in 2021.

To start something new, really new for you, and to act in a different pattern than you get used to is like jumping into the gateway to another reality. The mix of complex feelings dances inside, from dark to light... but you never know what is there on the other side before you try and step into the gateway. Let it be a beautiful start.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Inna Etuvgi, hailing from Russia's Arctic shores, brings her technical background to light as a Swedish art photographer. Her artistic journey began in 2020, and in 2022, she gained recognition as a finalist in the Arte Laguna Prize 16. In 2023, she received an honour from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. Etuvgi’s works are featured in “Photography in the Visual Culture” 22/23 book.

Navigating life with Aphantasia, Inna's mind doesn't visualise, but it pulsates with vivid concepts, emotions, and sensations. She uses her camera not merely to explore the world but to externalise her unique mental landscapes, making them visible.

Art critic Tabish Khan says about Inna’s art: “her work is about transporting us to other worlds - both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature. She may have a mind blind to visualisation, but she has eyes and a camera that capture the beauty in the worlds that the rest of us often overlook and take for granted.”
