The exhibition ”Our Land for All” in Taidehalli, Helsinki, reflects on how the Finnish mental landscape and our relationship with nature have been imagined and challenged over time.

I paint about humanity: compassion, forgiveness, shadows and light. I am an ageing woman, and running through my work is a question about what a Western woman sees when she looks at herself. The external gaze is so easy to internalise, to begin defining oneself through it, to reshape and alter, to forget one's own inner knowing.

I paint about how decades of living layer themselves into a woman, how that is not a burden but wisdom. A line is not a flaw. It is a sign of a life lived. For me, ageing is not something to be ashamed of. It is a story that deserves to be seen.

Be well wherever you are, because Wisdom dwells in the Heart. 🥰✌️
