This image has become deeply personal to me and is reinterpreted through the experience of forced migration.

I was born by the sea, and my way of being in the world was shaped through this contact, connected to my mother and the beginning of life.

Having experienced loss, I, like Aino, “enter the sea,” but in my work the sea becomes an existential space — an inner space where it is possible to preserve oneself through immersion in a place where there are no wars and no borders.
