HYPNOTIC SENSORY EXPERIENCE

What do you feel when you look at a flower? Can you sense its texture and the waves of colour without touching it?

While working on close-up photographs of a carnation (Waves of Carnation), I wanted to deepen this overlap of sensations. I began layering the image onto itself — much like sensual perception overlays the visual one. Through this process, the composition transforms into a hypnotic landscape: a rhythmic, almost ritual-like dance of colour, texture, and vibration.

The object dissolves, and seeing becomes sensing.

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.”
