APHANTASIA’S FLIGHT
Fine art photography print by Inna Etuvgi

"Aphantasia’s Flight" is a fine art macro photograph where a single dewdrop on a blade of grass becomes a bird in mid-flight — holding a delicate spiderweb in its beak.

Captured in the quiet light of early morning, the image turns a fleeting natural detail into a vision of motion and wonder. The glimmering web becomes threads of possibility, drawing viewers into a space where reality and imagination merge.

Living with Aphantasia — the inability to form mental images — I often find my inner worlds reflected in nature’s smallest moments. Here, the “bird” is more than an illusion of form; it is a metaphor for the mind’s ability to take flight, carried by sensation, concept, and feeling.

A poetic fine art print for collectors drawn to nature symbolism, minimalist beauty, and the magic hidden in plain sight.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Inna Etuvgi is a Swedish-Chukchi art photographer whose work explores the delicate balance between nature, humanity, and technology. Growing up in the remote Arctic, where survival depends on sensitivity to nature’s smallest signs, Etuvgi developed a deep respect for the fragile ecosystems she now captures in her art.

Living with Aphantasia—an inability to visualise mental images—Etuvgi turns to nature to reflect her inner landscapes, using her camera and digital art to externalise emotions and sensations. Through her macro photography, she magnifies the intricate details of nature's smallest elements, urging viewers to see their beauty, quiet resilience, and essential role in sustaining ecosystems. Her work highlights our bond with nature and challenges the human-centred worldview, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all life and encouraging a more mindful, compassionate relationship with the natural world.

Beginning her artistic journey in 2020, Etuvgi was internationally recognised as a finalist for the Arte Laguna Prize in 2022 and received a grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee in 2023. As art critic Tabish Khan notes, “Her work transports us to other worlds—both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature.”
