Window In-between (2009-2018)
Window In-between (2010-2018) is a photo essay to be shown in video format (63 min.) and collection of photograph works hanged on walls. The works visualize the relation between human and urban environment – and the human relation to the self – through a dialogue between inside and outside spaces. Existential identity contemplation and perception are present. The photo essay in video format is divided in four parts based on seasons. The narrative and autobiographical entity of photos, texts, and sounds are wandering and drifting in different directions as they will. The mind is an ever-changing window where the breeze blows both in and out. There is a glass-like surface between the inside and outside world, searching for its true form. All the photographs of the whole are taken in Helsinki city.

Sea divided and mountains splitted. Heart beat twice and life continued. Characters of scenes lived for the reflection – because of it – walked mirrors in their pockets. Sometimes views were divided into pieces and sometimes time stopped.
