Inna Etuvgi - Caught by URSA

CAUGHT BY URSA
fine art photography print by Inna Etuvgi

“Ursa holds a special place in my world. This constellation was always visible from my childhood window, and I still find it in the night sky here in Sweden. It feels like a center — a point of connection linking my past and present, the earth and the cosmos.”

In this photograph, light flares form a shape reminiscent of the Big Dipper, gently gathering dewdrops like a spoon collecting gems. To me, these are not just droplets of water; they hold fragments of nature’s dreams. This visual myth unfolds not in the sky, but right beneath our feet, where a patch of dew-soaked grass becomes a piece of the cosmos. :)

* Part of the Wonderland Under Our Feet series, this work invites viewers to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the extraordinary in the most delicate details of the natural world.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Inna Etuvgi is a Swedish-Chukchi art photographer and digital artist, internationally recognised as an Arte Laguna Prize finalist (Venice) and a recipient of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee grant. Born in a remote Arctic village in Chukotka and trained in technical cybernetics, she began her artistic practice in 2020 and has since exhibited across Europe — in Venice, London, Barcelona, Palermo, and San Marino.

Etuvgi lives with aphantasia — she cannot see images in her mind. Her camera and AI serve as extensions of her visual imagination, allowing her to create what she cannot picture internally. Through macro photography she enters the hidden worlds of mosses, lichens, and dewdrops; through digital art she gives form to psychological states and inner archetypes. Both are rooted in a deep sensitivity shaped by her Chukchi upbringing — an instinct to feel into every living thing.

As art critic Tabish Khan notes: "Her work transports us to other worlds — both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature."
