Artwork description:

Garlanda in the mossy world.

When I was a child, Christmas decorations were made from glass. I still remember those garlands, which my grandma took out from an attic, and it was like magic... when the world was still the same but so beautiful and so special with these vulnerable details...

This photo of the raindrops on a spiderweb I snapped in the forest of southern Sweden. It was a foggy morning. And after the fog had gone, all the world around was covered in drops. Drops, like beads, were strung on the needles of moss and the spider web, the same as the glass garlands of my grandma...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Inna Etuvgi, hailing from Russia's Arctic shores, brings her technical background to light as a Swedish art photographer. Her artistic journey began in 2020, and in 2022, she gained recognition as a finalist in the Arte Laguna Prize 16. In 2023, she received an honour from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. Etuvgi’s works are featured in “Photography in the Visual Culture” 22/23 book.

Navigating life with Aphantasia, Inna's mind doesn't visualise, but it pulsates with vivid concepts, emotions, and sensations. She uses her camera not merely to explore the world but to externalise her unique mental landscapes, making them visible.

Art critic Tabish Khan says about Inna’s art: “her work is about transporting us to other worlds - both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature. She may have a mind blind to visualisation, but she has eyes and a camera that capture the beauty in the worlds that the rest of us often overlook and take for granted.”
