Artwork description:

"Forest's Eye" is a macro photo of moss captured in a forest in Sweden in 2021.

The photography process feels to me like a dialogue with Nature. I like to imagine that the forest speaks with me in a visual language, telling me stories that I can capture. I like this wonderful feeling of communication, and often I get the feeling that the forest looks at me. I can see his eyes in the structure of the bark, in the drops of rain or dew... but sometimes it is so mystical that I can say I have met someone or something, such as here.

The photo is a part of the "SAGOSKOGEN" collection - a collection of art photos of northern nature, that I like to call fairytales told by the Swedish forest in the language of images (In Swedish "Saga" means fairytale, and "Skogen" means forest, so "Sagoskogen" means the fairytale forest).

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.”
