MY PROJECTS

WAY TO GET MY VOICE HEARD

Here you can see and follow my projects.

Through photography, it is possible to lift up and give a voice to topics, that are important for me, connect with my values and is something I’m interested at. 

Pekka and dog Nella. Friendship.

Then when (Sitten kun – Sen när)

I started this documentation project last autumn, and it will continue until the end of Pekka’s life. Currently, the series contains over 30 photos. It’s about the plans we make for retirement, saying, “Then, when I retire, I will do…” only to find that illness prevents those dreams from ever coming true.
The first exhibition has been in the showroom of Hapraranda Citylibrary (Sweden). The feedback has been so touching, thank you!

ANEMIA -Let me breath

This photography and mixed media project is a deeply personal experience. It captures the relentless struggle of suffering, endless tiredness, hair loss, brain fog, and other symptoms. After receiving an iron infusion, I felt an incredible relief during those 45 minutes, as I was able to breathe again.

Currently, I am collecting stories from individuals who are suffering from anemia. And photographing.

Artist in Media Presence EU project 2023-2026

I am incredibly happy and proud to have been chosen for this EU art project, which brings together artists from five different countries. Along with our group from northern Finland, we will be organizing a group exhibition in 2026, and I will be showcasing my work digitally at exhibitions in other countries. In the spring of 2024, I joined an urban art workshop in Venice.

Valomerkki Kollektiivi

I am also one of the founders of the Valomerkki Kollektiivi workgroup. This group focuses on developing photography in northern Finland through collaborative projects with other art field producers. Our interests include photography, cultural activities, educational workshops, long-term projects, and exhibitions. Email: valomerkkikollektiivi@gmail.com
