About The Artwork
"Once Upon Now" is a blend of photography and AI-assisted digital art by Inna Etuvgi, alias My Psychedelic Garden. In this work, the artist speaks about the modern society that seems to live in several layers of time simultaneously: "new technologies alongside archaic social norms, traditions mingled with new trends. We remember the old fairy tales we grew up with, yet we hardly understand how to apply them in the present. Our lives are vastly different from those of even our nearest ancestors. Humanity is rapidly moving forward, yet at the same time, it stands still. The future is already here, but so is the past. Yet, in the relentless march towards tomorrow, we have to be anchored in the wisdom of bygone eras for the saga of humanity to be ever-evolved. Ancient forests, witnesses to the passage of countless generations, now whisper to the steel and circuitry of drones; epochs are blending. In this living narrative, we are both the authors and the protagonists of an unfolding story, "Once Upon Now," where every moment is a crossroad between what was and what is yet to come."

Inna Etuvgi, a Swedish artist with Chukchi heritage and Aphantasia, crafts art that delves into the intricacies of nature and the human experience. Beginning her artistic journey in 2020, Etuvgi has quickly earned acclaim, including recognition from the Arte Laguna Prize and the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. Her work, a celebration of nature's overlooked splendors, ranges from the delicate patterns of dewdrops to the complex worlds of mosses and lichens. Through her photography, Etuvgi uncovers the hidden symphony of symbiotic relationships and stories within these tiny landscapes, inviting a deeper appreciation of our bond with the natural world. Art critic Tabish Khan observes, "Whether she's taking us close to the Earth at its smallest scale or creating fantastical figures covered in plant life through digital art, her work is about transporting us to other worlds—both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature." This insight captures the dual nature of Etuvgi's art: a journey into both the minute beauty underfoot and the broader strokes of imagination and identity. Expanding her canvas with AI and digital tools, Etuvgi explores contemporary societal themes, blending photography with digital artistry in her "Secret Garden" series. This work navigates the complexities of identity and self-expression, reflecting on the ever-evolving roles we play in a changing world. Etuvgi’s creations oscillate between reality and fantasy, the individual and the collective, serving as a bridge that connects diverse perspectives through the universal language of art. Her work is an invitation to see beyond the visible, into the heart of the interconnectedness that binds us all.
