Artwork description:

"Iris Dreamscapes"
Fine Art Photography by Inna Etuvgi, known artistically as My Psychedelic Garden.

This exquisite print, a jewel of the "Wonderland Under Our Feet" collection, captures the ephemeral beauty of a raindrop poised on the petals of an iris. In this moment frozen in time, the ordinary is transformed into a spectacle of dreamlike wonder. The vibrant blue, yellow, and white hues paint an otherworldly landscape, where the striped patterns of the iris petals seem to pulsate with life, giving a sense of movement and depth.

Here, the raindrop becomes a solitary traveler, gliding across the vivid terrain of the iris’s soft folds. It invites the viewer to delve into a hidden realm within the seemingly mundane—a realm where each detail holds a universe, urging us to explore the extraordinary concealed within the everyday. "Iris Dreamscapes" is not merely a photograph; it is an invitation to journey through the mystical spaces that lie just beneath the surface of our perceived reality.

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.”
