MEMORIES ABOUT AURORA LIGHTS
Fine art photography print
“I like to imagine the Northern Lights as a celestial hug — a moment when the Sun reaches out across the void to embrace the Earth.” :)
In Chukotka, where I was born, the auroras were a familiar companion. I remember their shifting colors and the way they seemed to respond to sound. Looking at these dewdrops, I began to think about how the Aurora is actually born: it happens when solar particles reach out and meet the Earth’s magnetic field.
This realization inspired a new story for me. I imagine that somewhere in the center of the universe stands a gleaming igloo (the upper drop). The Sun lives there, and each morning it leaves home to meet its beloved Earth, mirrored in the drop below. When their arm-rays touch, the sky blooms with light — an endless love story. For me, this photograph is a prism where childhood memories and the grand laws of the cosmos meet.

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."
