The Sea, A Poetic Experience | Mixed media installation | Energi Verket, Jakobstad, 2019

Using my own set of artistic tools and drawing inspiration from both visual and literary references, I embarked on an exploration of the sea as a source of poetic inspiration. This visual study originated from what author Virginia Woolf eloquently described as “moments of being,” which have profoundly influenced my perception of this ever-shifting expanse. Activating the philosophical element of water as a catalyst for my imagination, I meditated about the sea, its ability to evoke profound emotions and engender a temporal poetic experience.

This installation was presented as part of the artist’s BA thesis at the Energi Verket project space in Jakobstad. It was later exhibited in the homestead museum Kilens hembygdsgård, where it remains to this day.
