WHEN WE SAID "YES!"
Matted Fine Art Photography Print by Inna Etuvgi

Image size: 20x25 cm
Total Mat size: 30x40


'WHEN WE SAID "YES!"' is a macro photograph of a Cladonia pyxidata lichen adorned with drops of dew, captured in the forest of Huskvarna in Sweden.
 



As an art photographer who grew up in the far north, my heart resonates with the delicate beauty of mosses and lichens. Often overlooked, these underrated masterpieces of nature play pivotal roles in our ecosystem. Through my lens, I capture their intricate details, turning them into collectible prints, revealing the art of nature that speaks volumes about the value of these tiny heroes.
 


This photograph speaks about lichens as a bright testament to synergy. Emerging from the symbiotic relationship between fungus and algae, lichens develop abilities that allow them to thrive when many others cannot.
 


It is the same when, in communication, both sides say "yes" to each other, creating a system when 1+1 is greater than 2!
 


And isn't it about a family where partners love and respect each other? This is what I capture in this photo of Cladonias—the moment when two say yes to each other.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Inna Etuvgi is a Swedish-Chukchi artist whose work defines the concept of Cybernetic Animism—a bridge between indigenous Arctic intuition and technical precision. Raised in a remote village in Chukotka and trained in technical cybernetics, Etuvgi explores the shared "soul" of natural ecosystems and digital algorithms.

Living with Aphantasia—the inability to visualize mental images—Etuvgi uses her camera and Generative AI as a "visual prosthesis" to externalize deep emotional landscapes. Her macro photography magnifies nature’s smallest details, urging a shift from a human-centered worldview to one of interconnectedness.

Internationally recognized as an Arte Laguna Prize finalist (Venice) and a recipient of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee grant, Etuvgi’s work is held in private collections worldwide. As art critic Tabish Khan notes: “Her work transports us to other worlds—both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature.”
