I am a photographic artist based in Oulu, Northern Finland. I pursued my artistic education later in life, graduating with a Bachelor in Fine Arts from Lapland University of Applied Sciences in 2016 and a Master of Arts from the University of Lapland in 2018. I also hold a Bachelor\u2019s degree in conservation and restoration, completed in 2000.<\/p>\n

I create photographic works using my own photographs as material. In my practice, photography serves both as a means of perception and experience and as a catalyst for inner processes. A recurring question in my work is why my attention is drawn to certain subjects and how these subjects connect with my inner world.<\/p>\n

My work explores the boundary between the visible and the invisible, as well as the ways in which reality is constructed through experimentation and unexpected combinations of images. For me, image processing is a way of extending perception, allowing the image, memory, imagination, and unconscious associations to guide the process towards something I may not yet be able to see or understand at the moment of taking the photograph.<\/p>\n

My practice is situated within contemporary photographic art that explores personal experience, where photography can also become a means of constructing an inner landscape. My work has been exhibited in Finland, Hungary, Italy, and Spain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
