They have lived in my mind for years, gradually taking shape as sketches and unfinished metal plates, until they slowly found their own form. The idea of a rowboat and a lake has followed me with particular intensity \u2013 they were such a central part of my childhood and youth that they have become not only carriers of memory, but also metaphors, almost obsessive figures.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, other themes have also found their place. The myth of Icarus speaks of humanity\u2019s age-old tendency toward hubristic folly \u2013 those moments when the illusion of control slips away and fate takes over. The doppelg\u00e4nger, the double, is both fascinating and unsettling \u2013 sometimes a trustworthy companion on the journey, sometimes an unpredictable guide who leads you somewhere entirely unexpected.<br \/>\nYoung Atlas, meanwhile, bears the weight of the world on his shoulders and asks how each of us prepares for such a task \u2013 how we plan to carry the burden before it becomes too much.<\/p>\n<p>The works in this exhibition are built using a wide range of intaglio techniques. They combine overnight acid etchings, patient polishing, and countless test prints, through which the rhythm of slow making is imprinted into the images. Each step requires time and repetition \u2013 and it is precisely this slowness of process that creates space for thought and for the gradual unfolding of the image.<\/p>\n<p>Marjamatka (The Berry Journey) is a journey through layers of memory, metaphor, and process. It invites the viewer to walk along, to pause for a moment, and to reflect on what the backpack might reveal \u2013 both as it fills and as it empties.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The images in this exhibition are the result of a long process of maturation.
