MOSSY LOVE STORY

Matted Fine Art Photography Print by Inna Etuvgi 



“These sporophytes remind me of a kissing couple, and the song by John Paul Young, Love is in the Air, starts playing in my head as I look at them. That is Mossy Love Story.” — Inna Etuvgi 




This macro photograph of two moss sporophytes, bathed in the golden glow of sunset, captures an intimate moment that blends natural beauty with human emotion and continues the artist’s exploration of the poetic connections between human feelings and nature’s smallest forms.

With its romantic mood and warm colours, this artwork brings a touch of tenderness and wonder to any space — a perfect piece for collectors, nature lovers, or as a meaningful gift for someone special.

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.”
