My works focus on urban life, in particular: one’s movement from home to the city and back and life inside and in the middle of rectangular shapes.
My works are based on my home city of Helsinki, but their aim is rather to together create an image of another, imaginary city. The silhouette of the city at night reveals strange plants, and the wall of an apartment building is actually made of wool. My city is under construction and a work in progress, as are its residents.
