"Diving deep inside myself, I can find very odd things — family heritage and the residue of strange or even traumatic experiences... They may seem wrong, but they are the basement of me — parts to consider." — Inna Etuvgi


Sometimes, the strange things we carry inside us are not mistakes to erase — but stories to honour. Formed by personal history and shaped by adaptation, they become a part of who we are — our pearls.

This surreal portrait celebrates those inner curiosities: the odd, the unexplainable, the too-tender. The girl holds a bird without wings — a strange companion, loved not despite its weirdness, but because of it. Her organic headdress is part memory, part myth, part metaphor.

Part of the “Garden of Curiosities” series, which is rooted in self-reflection and emotional archaeology, this digital fine art print invites viewers to embrace the fragments that shaped them — however strange — and perhaps find beauty in the unexpected.

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.”
