Mikko
Rikala’s works represent research into spatiality and temporality,
emerging from both philosophical as well as scientific, nature-related
thoughts. Throughout his career, he has focused on different conceptual
ways of visualizing the passage of time and the cycles of nature.
Employing minimal aesthetics, he contemplates the intricate
interconnectedness of existence, exploring humanity’s relationship with
the natural world and the essential role of memory in shaping identity.
