“Merkityksellisyys” group exhibition opens 12.9.2026 at Dopart.
I am participating in a group exhibition with my series of Elegance of a Ditch artworks, which were also exhibited at Naantalin taidehuone in the summer of 2025.
We look for beauty from vanishing untouched nature. We give value to nature with our eyes and seek for something breathtaking, something big, predefined beauty and value. The beauty of nature is all around us, even close by and unnoticeable, vanishing and fleeting. In nature, everything has its place, its own personality and its own story.
Elegance of a Ditch exhibition celebrates nature’s imperceptible beauty in ditches, roadsides, banks of ponds and wastelands. These burst with life, seizing the moment, and radiate life’s fleeting elegance. With my photographs I want to give my subjects a possibility to be seen.
The artworks are part of a larger series. The photographs were taken between 2015 and 2021.
Exhibition is open 12.9.–3.10.2026.
“For me taking photographs is a form of storytelling. It’s my love story to the world and my way to see the world deeper.”
“I want to speak for nature’s intrinsic value and imperceptible beauty and to increase the appreciation of nature with my photographs. Nature gives strength and perspective to life. We are part of nature. Diverse and healthy nature is also an investment to our own wellbeing.”
