Artwork description:

Curious rain: a macro photo of a young Sedum plant with raindrops in its leaves, captured in the forest of Sweden

Often, I have the feeling that Nature looks at me. I can see her eyes in the structure of the bark, in the drops of rain or dew, but sometimes I can say that I have met someone or something, such as here. Eye contact in the forest... with the young Sedum plant under the rain

The photo speaks about contact with Nature, in which everything is connected and we are part of it. And at the same time, it is about contact with the nature of our mind, which likes to play games, and one of them is Antropomorphism.

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.”
