“Luontolumomuistoja – Nature Enchantment Memories”, 2026. Medium: Video installation of hand-painted images, handwritten Finnish text, artist’s voice, English subtitles

This work is a meditation on memory, nature and wonder. Drawing from my childhood in 1980s Finland, it evokes quiet enchantments in nature. These experiences belong not just to me, but to all who remember them. They enrich life and awaken care for what we love and are part of. Yet they are fragile and easily lost.

The poetic, descriptive sentences in my native language Finnish preserve the moments, illustrating the awe and connection we can feel with the living world. The slightly childlike style of the paintings and handwriting echoes the childhood. 

Like a time capsule, the work invites reflection and asks us: How can we keep these wonders safe for kids in the future? What can we do already today?
