SELF REFLECTION

Fine Art Photography Print

Image size 56 x 40 cm

“My inner world - invisible, but real - is formed by abstract forms of verbal concepts, thoughts and ideas, it is colored by emotions and feelings. And somewhere among these abstract inner landscapes my consciousness arises... like a drop“ - Inna Etuvgi

A single dewdrop on a blade of grass — yet within it, an entire inner universe.

“Self Reflection” is more than a photograph; it is a visual metaphor for consciousness emerging from the abstract realm of thought, emotion, and meaning.

As an artist with aphantasia — a condition that prevents me from forming mental images — I use macro photography to access and express my inner world. Morning dew has become a mirror of this world: abstract, conceptual, yet emotionally vivid.

“Self Reflection” explores how our internal landscape — though unseen — is shaped by language, experience, and the colors of emotion. The dewdrop becomes a crystallization of awareness within this invisible field of ideas: a metaphor for consciousness itself, manifesting through thought and verbalized reality.

This piece belongs to the series InnerSpace Dreamscapes: The World Beyond Aphantasia, dedicated to exploring the realms of imagination and inner perception. Each dewdrop in this series reflects the “me-idea” — consciousness in its many states — weaving the delicate fabric of thought and feeling across a landscape beyond imagery.

A contemplative fine art print inviting viewers to look inward — and find themselves reflected in nature’s smallest mirror.

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.”
