The set of works Windy Windows<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0consists of photographs whose theme is built to combine the internal and the external \u2013 psychic conditions, as well as the environmental and cultural atmosphere we live in. Self-reflexivity, different manifestations of the self, the passage of time, detachment, globalization and dialogues between industrial and organic are present in the works.<\/p>\n

When I moved from Oulu to Helsinki in 2008, I left behind the faith of my childhood and early youth, Conservative Laestadianism, which had previously defined my self-image. At first, the apartment in Helsinki was practically empty. I started collecting furniture and other household items as I collected new experiences \u2013 and with the help of my camera, new photographs based on them. Consequently, the apartment in Helsinki has served me as a sanctuary ever since \u2013 a place to reformulate myself. The entity of works contains numerous photographs that were taken there since the year 2008.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Windy Windows<\/em> photographs were created by being attuned and susceptible to the meaningfulness and pictorial potential of everyday moments. I have also brought different performative elements and staging solutions into the photographs. Photography serves as a form of existential meditation for me \u2013 inhaling and exhaling.<\/p>\n

The making and presentation of the work has been supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation and the Arts Promotion Center Finland (Taike).<\/p>\n
