The purpose of the series is to show the viewer that a photograph can be more than just an accurate document of an event or a place.

A photograph can also be abstract, where the details fade away and only shapes and colors remain, leaving room for the viewer’s imagination. You don’t always have to show everything — some things can be left hidden and open to interpretation.

I am a Finnish amateur photographer. I restarted photography after retiring seven years ago. At first, I photographed all kinds of subjects while searching for my own style. I also began submitting my photos to international photography exhibitions, and I have since earned several photographic distinctions. A couple of years ago, I discovered ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) photography and realized that it allows me to express my own ideas. I feel that I am now truly finding my personal way of photographing.
