SPACESHIP fine art photography by Inna Etuvgi Image size 39x48,5cm Actual size 43x53 cm This fine art macro photograph features a Cladonia stellaris lichen crowned with a single raindrop, visually resembling a spacecraft suspended in an alien landscape. The image refers to a documented scientific fact: lichens have survived exposure to open space, supporting the theory of panspermia — the idea that life can travel between planets. In this work, the lichen appears not only as a fragile forest organism, but as a quiet witness to life’s ability to endure extreme conditions beyond Earth. By merging micro-scale nature with cosmic association, Spaceship functions as a visual illustration of this phenomenon, transforming an often-overlooked organism into a symbol of resilience, exploration, and the mysterious origins of life.

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.”
