Projection - Studio Edition Photograph by Inna Etuvgi

PROJECTION
fine art photo print by Inna Etuvgi

“We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.”

In this work, I explore the moment a personality forms—like a drop of dew gaining its surface tension. Once we become an individual "I," we inevitably become a lens that projects its own order onto the world.

In the photo, the hexagonal flare is a projection of the mind. In the face of the world’s chaos, our consciousness desperately seeks patterns to soothe its innate anxiety. We impose geometry on the organic; we impose our rules on the unknown. We project our expectations onto the stars, the forests, and each other, creating a "sanctuary of order" where there is only flow.

The personality and its projection go together from the very first moment. And projection is our shield — the beautiful, orderly illusions we create just to feel a little more at home in the wild :)

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."
