Colour palette inspired by Ann Veronica Janssen’s work. I took this image of one of her light installations at Kiasma a few years ago. I remember standing in front of her pieces for quite a while, simply mesmerised by the colours.

I think I have given up on the idea of posting here on a weekly basis. If I’m to believe every social media expert/entrepreneurial guru/algorithm master, posting regularly is one crucial key to success. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what is considered success in our society and everything one should be willing to […]

As it has become my ritual every summer, I recently visited the Rhododendron Park (Alppiruusupuisto/Alprosparken) in Haaga. The past few weeks have been really intense for me so it was really relaxing to walk around in this explosion of colour. I hope I never get tired of this place!

I have been really bad at watching new movies lately. It’s partly because most movie theatres are closed right now but also the many binge worthy tv shows being released. Bridgerton anyone? The few movies I have been watching are ones I’ve usually seen before and they usually pop in my head at the most […]

Ever since I came across the work of artists like Augusta Savage and Lois Mailou Jones, I’ve been really curious about the Harlem Renaissance. I’m still at the beginning of my little research project but the more artists from this era I discover, the more intrigued I am. James Van Der Zee’s body of work […]

I always get a bit nostalgic during fall and find myself looking at pictures of the past summer’s highlights. It’s usually when Helsinki is becoming increasingly grey and it’s still a while until Christmas. This summer I was really glad to be able to visit the Rhododendron Park and take in all the colours. I […]

Of all the cozy houses I’ve photographed on my visits to Lund, this is definitely one of my favourites. That colour of the door and window frame is so striking!

Daughters of the dust first got on my radar after Lemonade was released, when I was reading different reviews and analyses of Beyonce’s great album. I added the movie to my watch list but then kinda forgot about it. That is until last week when I found myself in one of my intense googling sessions, […]

Visiting the Rhododendron Park (Alppiruusupuisto/Alprosparken) in Haaga in early June has become a bit of summer ritual for me. It’s become a sign saying summer is really here. I always take my camera with me so it has turned into a a bit of a photo challenge as well. I never get tired of taking […]

I was listening to an episode of Still Processing a while back (the best podcast out there if you ask me) and Jenna mentioned the movie Aeon Flux and it kind of lingered in my thoughts so I wrote “rewatch Aeon Flux” on a post-it note.A day later I watched the trailer trying to remember […]

These colours bring back fond memories of hot summer days walking around Harajuku and being amazed by everything I saw. Tokyo is such a fascinating city and I dream of returning one day. Right now I’m looking for neon cotton yarns for a scarf project. Any tips?

In the mood for love is one of those movies that has popped up on so many top 10 lists over beautiful movies that I thought it was time to watch it. You know me, at some point I get curious what all the fuss is about. Visually this movie is really beautiful. The sets, […]

There’s just something special about cherry blossoms. A longstanding dream of mine is to one day travel to Japan during sakura season. It’s gonna take while before that trip happens, with global pandemic going on and my current lack of funds. Until then I’ll enjoy and appreciate the few cherry but lovely cherry blossoms we […]

I haven’t done colour palettes for a while and I’ve really missed it. In these really difficult times I’m finding it therapeutic to work with colours. I’m now testing a more commonly used format so that the colours take up more space of the layout. I’m really curious what you think of this palette and […]

Ok, so the name of the place is actually Pietarsaari or Jakobstad but I’m hoping that Jacob City will catch on soon. For non swedish speakers loppis means flea market. I visited this lovely town during some really hot days this past summer. It’s a town that has an unusual amount of second hand, vintage […]
