BEAUTY IN THE PIECE OF THE BEAUTY
Fine art photography print by Inna Etuvgi
Image size 39x48,5 cm

At first glance, this image might look like a cropped flower — or like how children draw suns in the corner of the page. But this macro photograph questions how we perceive beauty: as a whole, or through its parts?


Here, the artist reflects on the dichotomy between the poetic wholeness of a natural object and our mind’s tendency to divide, classify, and find order. Imperfectly framed on purpose, this decision celebrates the organic, the lively, and the unpredictable charm found in nature. It reminds us that within every fragment, the whole still lives — and each piece carries its own complete beauty.

This fine art print is part of Etuvgi’s ongoing exploration of macro photography as a window into abstract concepts, emotional perception, and the hidden logic of natural forms.

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.”
