Biography

I am a visual artist based in Helsinki. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, Finland, in 2025. My works are primarily video installations, performances, and texts. I use diary-like video footage, audio recordings, and written notes as materials in my practice. By re-arranging these intimate fragments, I create works that shatter the mundane.

My video work is driven by a materialistic and structuralist camera operation that reveals the subjectivity of filming, and my major interest in raw materials, especially plants.

My works have been shown in Finland, Sweden, and Norway in the following contexts: Helsinki Biennale 2025 Preview Week; Kirpilä Art Collection, Helsinki, FI; At Home with (7), curated by Sini Pelkki and Magnús Kristinsson, Helsinki, FI; Ateneum Art Museum, Helsinki, FI; Gallery Loisti, Helsinki, FI; Gallery Rajatila, Tampere, FI; Asbestos Art Space, Helsinki, FI; Kuva/Tila, Helsinki, FI; Vapaan Taiteen Tila, Helsinki, FI; Konsthall323, Stockholm, SE; Hjorten Sculpture Park 2025, Stockholm, SE; Havet (Konstfack), Stockholm, SE; Utomhusgalleriet på Sergels torg, Stockholm, SE; and Galleri Eker Gård, Beitostølen, NO.

My artistic practice has been supported by Amos Andersson’s Fond, Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland, the Finnish-Swedish Cultural Foundation, Eugène, Elisabeth and Birgit Nygrén Foundation, Greta and Alfred Runeberg Foundation, and University of the Arts Helsinki Foundation. I have participated in residencies in Sweden, Germany, and Finland. In the summer of 2026, I will take part in the SÍM Residency in Reykjavík.
