Midsummer Eve
Project type
Digital Collage
Date
April 2024
Location
Helsinki, Finland
One of the inspiration pieces I made for the World Collage Day 2025 challenge by Hki Collage and Finna.fi
This photo portrait haunted me for months until I thought to pair it with a fragment from Hokusai's Great Wave, which I find matches the wistful mood of the original photo perfectly!
In the background, I built a Finnish archipelago view from a landscape painting and a photo of two girls sitting on a sea cliff. In the right front corner, I added a mallard painted by Ferdinand von Wright at 8 years old.
