Inna Etuvgi - SpaceShip + passepartout

'Spaceship,' a striking macro photography print by Inna Etuvgi, captures the resilient beauty of Cladonia Stellaris lichens adorned with a raindrop that resembles a spacecraft. Part of the 'Alien' series, which delves into the enigmatic nature of lichens as ecological pioneers, this art piece speaks about the groundbreaking 2005 space experiment demonstrating that lichens can survive the harsh void of space, supporting the intriguing panspermia theory—that life can be transported across planets. The photograph features a mysterious human silhouette on the left, adding depth and inviting viewers to ponder the often-unnoticed, yet crucial role of lichens in starting the chain of life on barren rocks and photosynthesizing beneath snow. 'Spaceship' not only celebrates the striking resilience of these organisms but also their mysterious beauty and ecological importance. Printed on fine art paper with archival pigment inks, each piece in this limited edition nature art series is signed, numbered, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, making it an exceptional art gift for science enthusiasts or northern nature lovers. Perfect as sophisticated wall decor for any renovated or new home, this print is sure to enchant nature enthusiasts and art collectors alike. Add 'Spaceship' to your collection and bring home a piece that bridges the gap between art, nature, and science, offering a daily reminder of the remarkable capabilities and aesthetic grace of nature. PRINT INFORMATION: Gicleè print on Canson Baryta Photographic paper+ COA Installed in Ph-neutral passpartout 30x40 cm + backing, ready for framing Image size 20x25 cm Limited edition 25
 Signed, numbered and printed by the author ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Inna Etuvgi, hailing from Russia's Arctic shores, brings her technical background to light as a Swedish art photographer. Her artistic journey began in 2020, and in 2022, she gained recognition as a finalist in the Arte Laguna Prize 16. In 2023, she received an honour from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. Etuvgi’s works are featured in “Photography in the Visual Culture” 22/23 book. Navigating life with Aphantasia, Inna's mind doesn't visualise, but it pulsates with vivid concepts, emotions, and sensations. She uses her camera not merely to explore the world but to externalise her unique mental landscapes, making them visible. Art critic Tabish Khan says about Inna’s art: “her work is about transporting us to other worlds - both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature. She may have a mind blind to visualisation, but she has eyes and a camera that capture the beauty in the worlds that the rest of us often overlook and take for granted.”
