NO, THANKS fine art print by Inna Etuvgi image size 39,5x55cm actual size 43x60cm “The heritage of my growing up is addiction — I was shaped to crave those velvet, yet destructive hugs. But now my goal is to choose what harms least and find the strength to refuse everything else. Saying no is part of this path.” — Inna Etuvgi The protective cone — normally placed on animals to prevent self-harm — becomes here a metaphor for boundaries: the conscious decision to step away from what destroys, even when it looks strange to others or disrupts familiar dynamics. “No, Thanks” explores the awkwardness and grace of this choice: how setting limits can feel alien, even provoke resistance, yet ultimately opens space for a different, healthier life. A work about clarity, self-respect, and the slow, courageous act of breaking old cycles. PRINT INFORMATION:

 ABOUT THE ARTIST:

 Inna Etuvgi is a Swedish-Chukchi art photographer whose work explores the delicate balance between nature, humanity, and technology. Growing up in the remote Arctic, where survival depends on sensitivity to nature’s smallest signs, Etuvgi developed a deep respect for the fragile ecosystems she now captures in her art. 
Living with Aphantasia—an inability to visualise mental images—Etuvgi turns to nature to reflect her inner landscapes, using her camera and digital art to externalise emotions and sensations. Through her macro photography, she magnifies the intricate details of nature's smallest elements, urging viewers to see their beauty, quiet resilience, and essential role in sustaining ecosystems. Her work highlights our bond with nature and challenges the human-centred worldview, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all life and encouraging a more mindful, compassionate relationship with the natural world. Beginning her artistic journey in 2020, Etuvgi was internationally recognised as a finalist for the Arte Laguna Prize in 2022 and received a grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee in 2023. As art critic Tabish Khan notes, “Her work transports us to other worlds—both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature.”
