Story & Message:

Constrained. We must all have felt this at some point in our lives. Feeling restricted, suffocated and trapped as if that is our destiny and there’s no way out of it - physically, mentally and emotionally. Times like these are not easy to get through yet when we look back at those moments, we somehow did. No matter how bad things were, we pulled through; no matter how bad things are, we will pull through.

From my project "The Dark Days Of the Soul"

"The Dark Days of the Soul" was inspired by the darkness of Finnish winter and the limited ability to physically change places due to the situation in the world. In times like that new opportunities to travel arise. It’s a different kind of travel though, it’s a journey within.

Each work covers a particular state of mind that I translate into a visual form. Some of them are truly dark, and some are bright, but this is how the duality of life works: we wouldn’t be able to see light without the darkness.
