“Onion planet dreamy landscapes” is a macro photo of raindrops on the onion flower by art photographer Inna Etuvgi alias My Psychedelic Garden. “I have Anaphantasia, which means that I can’t visualise dreams or memories in my mind. I can't recall in my memory images of my closest people or favourite places, nor of myself; my inner screen is always off. Instead, my imagination and memory stand on concepts and ideas—verbal constructions coloured with emotions. This is pretty abstract and hard to explain. But I have found the visualisation of my cognitive inner process in the macro photography of morning dew, where the dewdrop as a hero of the composition reflects the me-idea, my consciousness, which floats in the abstract field of verbal concepts and emotions.   It is pretty amazing, but it feels like my camera captures the elusive video signal of my imagination. Through my lens, I not only explore Nature's minute wonders but also find a parallel reality reflecting my soul's emotions and feelings. The camera becomes a bridge or portal into the cognitive landscapes of my inner space.” ABOUT THE PRINT:

 Inna Etuvgi, hailing from Russia's Arctic shores, brings her technical background to light as a Swedish art photographer. Her artistic journey began in 2020, and in 2022, she gained recognition as a finalist in the Arte Laguna Prize 16. In 2023, she received an honour from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. Etuvgi’s works are featured in “Photography in the Visual Culture” 22/23 book. Navigating life with Aphantasia, Inna's mind doesn't visualise, but it pulsates with vivid concepts, emotions, and sensations. She uses her camera not merely to explore the world but to externalise her unique mental landscapes, making them visible. Art critic Tabish Khan says about Inna’s art: “her work is about transporting us to other worlds - both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature. She may have a mind blind to visualisation, but she has eyes and a camera that capture the beauty in the worlds that the rest of us often overlook and take for granted.”
