Finnish Summer

Project type

Digital Collage

Date

March 2025

Location

Helsinki, Finland

Digital collage inspired by a painting by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, one of Finland's most beloved painters of all time

The Finnish summer is so brief, it feels almost urgent. For midsummer, you MUST travel to a lake or a seashore, light a bonfire and watch the sun dip for a minute, just to bounce right back up again. Our summer is magical, fragrant, light and very bitter sweet because it is so fleeting.
