ESCAPE, 2021
DREAM, 2023
MARKER Series, neon yellow, 2020

"Ascent of Home" is a captivating and thought-provoking art installation that transforms the space it occupies into a poetic exploration of the human journey and the concept of 'home.' This immersive piece invites viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of personal growth, the pursuit of dreams, and the foundational importance of a sense of belonging.

At one side of the installation stands a sturdy, weathered ladder, reaching gracefully towards the sky. The ladder symbolizes the individual's ascent through life, the climb towards personal aspirations, and the pursuit of higher ideals. Its weathered appearance suggests the wear and tear of experiences, echoing the resilience and strength required to navigate life's challenges.
At the other side is a delicate designed house, seemingly weightless in space. The house represents the concept of 'home,' not merely as a physical shelter but as a complex and evolving metaphor for identity, safety, and fulfillment. The fragility of the structure contrasts with the ladder's durability, emphasizing the delicate balance between personal growth and the need for a stable foundation.

The entire installation castes subtle shadows that dance across the surrounding space. This interplay of light and shadow adds an ethereal quality to the scene, underscoring the intangible aspects of the human experience and the elusive nature of our search for meaning. As viewers move around the installation, their perspectives shift, altering the visual relationship between the ladder and the house. This dynamic interaction encourages contemplation of one's own journey, the pursuit of dreams, and the evolving significance of 'home' throughout different stages of life.

"Ascent of Home" is not merely a static piece but a dynamic and evolving narrative expressed through the simplicity of a ladder and a house. It invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences, fostering a sense of connection and shared humanity in the ever-changing landscape of our individual and collective lives.

TIP OF THE ICEBERG @ ICEHOTEL Jukkasjärvi

"the deeper meaning is not evident on the surface, but shines through implicitly”

Hovering in the room, a riddle is unveiled in its entirety, lucid and tangible. A mythical phenomenon in its natural element, it is equally mesmerizing and menacing. It takes persistence to unmask a conundrum. The sight of the naked eye might be blurred, so summon up the courage to find out what is hidden underneath. Bear in mind that there are parameters and values yet to be discovered, as the deeper meaning is not always evident on the surface.

DANGER! THIN ICE @ ICEHOTEL365 Jukkasjärvi

"Enjoy the mystic elegance of sleeping on frozen water and experiencing deep silence."

Enter a surreal frozen lake environment and literally walk on thin ice on a landing stage running through the Art Suite connecting to the bed. Look into the depth of the frozen lakes surface’s visually transparent black ice, allowing to witness the serene beauty of naturally emerged structures created by nature into the most transitory material - cracks, air bubbles, light effects, different shades and layers of black and white.

Another pioneering glacier protection idea to prevent the meltdown besides the snow conservation measure to cover the glacial snow blanket with a fleece.
