About The Artwork
The photo "Space Ship. Trip into inner Cosmos" belongs to the series "Alien", which is dedicated to lichens and their wonderful qualities. The lichen is an organism created by the symbiosis of the algae cells and the fungus. The algae produce food through photosynthesis, and the fungus protects & provides nutrients & water for their combined survival. This unique combination allows lichens to survive where many other organisms cannot and even in the harsh conditions of outer space! (an experiment led by Leopoldo Sancho from the Complutense University of Madrid, 2005). In their space journey lichens were exposed to the space environment for nearly 15 days. Lichens survived and returned to their normal activity on the Earth. The experiment adds weight to the theory of panspermia – that life could be transported between planets, perhaps by hitching a ride on an asteroid. It also indicates that organisms similar to lichens might be able to survive on the surface of Mars. It is so intriguing! Looking at them I can easily believe, that they've come to us from another planet! At this moment I feel very excited, as it is the moment when the wonderful dreamy ideas about lichens as aliens, have a chance to come true! Isn't it a moment when the border between the dream and reality is varnishing?

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.
