THE LAST MASK Exhibition Selection | Studio Trial Edition (ST 1/2) Medium: Giclée print on premium Hahnemühle Baryta Satin paper. “Does the last mask exist? The last protective layer? What is behind it? This work is a journey into the depth of the self, where the line between social interfaces and inner truth begins to blur.” CONCEPT "The Last Mask" is a pivotal piece from the "Secret Garden" collection—a digital realm reflecting the inner sanctuary where pretenses fall away and the inner child roams free. The artwork explores the complexity of social roles. Some we choose, some we control, and others are driven by deep natural instincts. Through this surreal portrait, Inna Etuvgi asks: who are you when you are alone with your inner intentions? It is a meditation on the dreams that shape our tomorrow and the layers we shed to reach them. EDITION NOTE: STUDIO TRIAL (ST 1/2) This specific lot is a unique Studio Trial (ST 1/2).

ABOUT THE ARTIST Inna Etuvgi is a Swedish-Chukchi artist whose work defines the concept of Cybernetic Animism—a bridge between indigenous Arctic intuition and technical precision. Raised in a remote village in Chukotka and trained in technical cybernetics, Etuvgi explores the shared "soul" of natural ecosystems and digital algorithms. Living with Aphantasia—the inability to visualize mental images—Etuvgi uses her camera and Generative AI as a "visual prosthesis" to externalize deep emotional landscapes. Her macro photography magnifies nature’s smallest details, urging a shift from a human-centered worldview to one of interconnectedness. Internationally recognized as an Arte Laguna Prize finalist (Venice) and a recipient of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee grant, Etuvgi’s work is held in private collections worldwide. As art critic Tabish Khan notes: “Her work transports us to other worlds—both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature.”
