APHANTASIA’S FLIGHT
Fine art photography print by Inna Etuvgi
“You know that feeling when an idea is right there, at your fingertips, almost formed, and about to slip away? You hold your breath. You become very still. And then — flight. :)”
As an artist with aphantasia, I cannot see images in my mind. The camera functions as a prosthesis for my visual imagination, allowing me to finally see the complex emotional landscapes I feel but cannot internally visualize. This work is part of the “InnerSpace Dreamscapes” collection, where dewdrops serve as metaphors for consciousness — a "me-idea" within a world of abstract concepts and deep emotions.
In this piece, a dewdrop on a blade of grass becomes a bird mid-flight, carrying a thread of spiderweb like a precious message. It’s a metaphor for how we hold fragile thoughts and those rare moments of sudden clarity.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Inna Etuvgi is a Swedish-Chukchi art photographer and digital artist, internationally recognised as an Arte Laguna Prize finalist (Venice) and a recipient of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee grant. Born in a remote Arctic village in Chukotka and trained in technical cybernetics, she began her artistic practice in 2020 and has since exhibited across Europe — in Venice, London, Barcelona, Palermo, and San Marino.
Etuvgi lives with aphantasia — she cannot see images in her mind. Her camera and AI serve as extensions of her visual imagination, allowing her to create what she cannot picture internally. Through macro photography she enters the hidden worlds of mosses, lichens, and dewdrops; through digital art she gives form to psychological states and inner archetypes. Both are rooted in a deep sensitivity shaped by her Chukchi upbringing — an instinct to feel into every living thing.
As art critic Tabish Khan notes: "Her work transports us to other worlds — both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature."
