MOSSY AWE

Matted 
Fine Art Photography Print by Inna Etuvgi

Image size: 20x30cm
Mat: 30x40cm


"Mossy Awe" is a macro photograph capturing a moss sporophyte in the forest of Huskvarna, Sweden. The sporophyte, bathed in sunlight, resembles a figure lifting their face to be kissed by the sun’s rays. This image highlights the beauty of undersized nature and reflects our own experiences, reminding us of the deep connection between humans and the natural world.

My work explores the delicate balance between nature, humanity, and technology, focusing on the often-overlooked elements of the natural world. Growing up in the Arctic, where survival depends on sensitivity to subtle environmental signs, has shaped my deep respect for life’s fragile balance. Through macro photography, I magnify the hidden beauty in nature’s tiniest details, highlighting their vital role in sustaining ecosystems and challenging the human-centered worldview.

Part of the "SAGOSKOGEN" collection, which translates to "Fairy Tale Forest," this print weaves together the magical stories hidden within the Swedish woods. The collection invites viewers to explore the quiet resilience and enchanting beauty of mosses, lichens, and other often-overlooked wonders, offering a visual journey through nature’s intricate narratives.

With its vibrant, warm colors, "Mossy Awe" brings the serene atmosphere of a Scandinavian forest into any space. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking unique, nature-inspired decor or a thoughtful gift for nature lovers.

Perfect for art collectors, nature enthusiasts, galleries, and curators, "Mossy Awe" combines the tranquility of nature with fine art, making it a meaningful addition to any home or office.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Inna Etuvgi is a Swedish-Chukchi artist whose work defines the concept of Cybernetic Animism—a bridge between indigenous Arctic intuition and technical precision. Raised in a remote village in Chukotka and trained in technical cybernetics, Etuvgi explores the shared "soul" of natural ecosystems and digital algorithms.

Living with Aphantasia—the inability to visualize mental images—Etuvgi uses her camera and Generative AI as a "visual prosthesis" to externalize deep emotional landscapes. Her macro photography magnifies nature’s smallest details, urging a shift from a human-centered worldview to one of interconnectedness.

Internationally recognized as an Arte Laguna Prize finalist (Venice) and a recipient of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee grant, Etuvgi’s work is held in private collections worldwide. As art critic Tabish Khan notes: “Her work transports us to other worlds—both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature.”
