Sakura Lake 3, 2026
Archival pigment print
126.5 x 97 cm

Existing between Eastern philosophy and Western Romanticism, Kantanen’s photographs invite viewers into poetic, dreamlike interventions. Beneath the meditative beauty of her images lies a subtle ecological awareness. These works reflect the fragile relationship between nature and the 21st century’s ever-accelerating indifference expressed through pollution, urbanization, and environmental neglect.

The Overview Effect (Skagen, Denmark), 2026
Pigment print
40 x 30 cm

The Overview Effect is a psychological experience many astronauts report after seeing Earth from space. It describes a sudden shift in perception. When astronauts observe the planet from orbit, or from the distance of the Moon, Earth appears small and self-contained within the vastness of space. From this distance, the divisions that organize life on the ground disappear. National borders, political systems, and territorial conflicts are no longer visible. Instead, the planet is perceived as a single, interconnected whole.

For Whom The Bell Tolls, 2026
Original vintage graphic art print,
insect pins, brass wire
71 x 89 x 8 cm

For Whom The Bell Tolls is so far the most political work in series Poetry of Circulation. List of wars involving Russia is about 240 wars between 803s and Uranian war. Pretty rough history in that sense. And this says a person who lives in Finland that has 1300 km common border with Russia. Last war we had with Russia was 1939 -1944.

Santeri Tuori

Sky #46, 2024
Pigment print
200 x 153 cm

Santeri Tuori has a very personal relationship in his approach to nature, much like the Impressionist painters of the 19th century. Although he uses the photographic process to create his images, his subjects have their roots in traditional landscape painting and drawing. By observing and measuring nature's ever-changing growth from season to season, year after year, Tuori uses his photographs as means to encapsulate the passage of time. This conceptual process is achieved by layering one photographic negative upon another to create his own imaginary landscape.

A Slowing Pace (Until the Perfect Stop), 2026
Archival pigment print on 
rectangular aluminium tubing
120 × 180 × 10 cm

"Chasing the last rays of the sun in the profound silence of the Finnish lakeland, I am the only soul here to witness the transition. The gilded tones meet the gentle nip of the evening air. As I approach the pier, the sun hovers at the horizon, scattering orange across the high clouds while the greens remain stubbornly deep. With every step closer to the seemingly infinite end of the pier, time begins to stretch and slow. In this radiant hush, my movement yields to the perfect stop—a suspension in the fleeting warmth. I am alone, but the silence is not empty; it is full. 498 individual photographs, captured step by step on an evening walk to the end of the pier."

Composition 02 (Susanne), 2021
Oil on canvas
160 x 150 cm

The paintings and drawings from the series "Movement” are centered around the idea of showing the impression of movement by using the fragmentary afterimage rather than linear overlapping of sequences. In other words, more like the images evoked under the eyelid of a light-stunned eye. Ksiazek challenges is to recreate these dancers' movements from performances that were frozen in time by only a few limited historical photographs.
