"I am a 21-year-old photography-based artist. I'm originally from Finland, but currently living in Scotland.
A lot of my work deals with ideas of time, memory, belonging and relating to our surroundings in the middle of endless personal transformation. The sense of impermanence caused by this is probably the biggest force driving me to create things and manifests itself in some of the techniques I choose to use in my work, chance having a big influence on the outcome of it.
I work with a variety of different media and techniques, but photography has always been present in my creative process in some form, as I feel that the lens allows me to interact with my surroundings in a way that wouldn’t be possible otherwise, and opens up unknown parts within my own thoughts. I am also interested in the concept of photography as a way of remembering and preserving moments, and the preciousness of the photograph as an object. This has resulted in my work becoming more and more physical, exploring the materiality and eventual mortality of an object, which in this case is the photograph. At the same time I am curious about what is happening to the way we relate to photographs in the digital age."
