Anni Hanén: Suoja

The work belongs to the series Uppoutumisia (Immersions), which Hanén has been developing since 2023. The series is inspired by time spent in the garden and its plants. In her works, Hanén explores the meanings of shelter and protection, as well as the relationship between humans and nature. The works are realised using photography, photo-based printmaking, and techniques that combine photography with ceramics.
