Towards the Dream (2025) Photograph by Inna Etuvgi

TOWARDS THE DREAM
Fine Art Print by Inna Etuvgi
"Towards the Dream" is built on an original macro photograph of a dewdrop — a digital collage that follows a dreamlike path into the world of morning dew, a delicate universe hidden right under our feet.

"I am a dreamer with no visual imagination (aphantasia), yet through macro photography I enter the inner realm of fantasy and make it visible — even tangible in print. Dewdrops are like shimmering splashes left behind after nature washes the sleep from her eyes. I imagine fragments of dreams still floating in them…" — Inna Etuvgi

Part of an ongoing series exploring the luminous threshold between reality and imagination through macro photography and generative art.

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."
