Inna Etuvgi - Catamorphosis

CATAMORPHOSIS
fine art print by Inna Etuvgi
image size: 40 × 50 cm
actual size: 43 × 54 cm


“Catamorphosis” explores the strange, beautiful space where humans and animals begin to mirror one another. The work reflects on how we shape our pets to fit our ideals — and wonders what might happen if we one day start shaping ourselves in return.

Inspired by the emotional sensitivity and loyalty of the Sphynx cat, this piece imagines a future where transformation goes beyond appearance. What if the traits we borrowed were not physical, but emotional — softness, empathy, vulnerability?

A poetic and slightly uncanny portrait about connection, evolution, and the qualities we choose to carry forward in a rapidly changing world.

A striking, thought-provoking work for collectors who appreciate symbolic portraiture and imaginative storytelling.

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.”
