CURRENT MISSION

When everything changes, I want to see what remains.

ABOUT ME

For the last ten years I have lived on two different islands outside the mainland Helsinki. I'm used to the idea that even if I want to go someplace near it'll take about an hour and I probably get to cross the sea to get there. I'm used to travel, actually I love it; it gives me freedom and power, and you never really know what to expect, in spaces, people nor feelings.

I guess I'm quite a calm and a bit old-fashioned person, but also spontaneous - when I get the enthusiasm or joy to do something, I'm on! I am a child. I'm a sort of dreamer, chasing the sky from time to time, and I never want it to be any other way. The best thing in my life have been the people around me. Meeting people is easy!

PHILOSOPHY

Love thy neighbour.

I once heard that in many African tribes people think that our past is in front of us and our future is behind us, that I think is wisdom.

Interests

People with all their content! Interaction, conversations, warmth of an other person. Photography and music, both playing & listening to, are my passions. Since 13-year-old I've played french horn, guitar, piano and been singing too. Photographing, I shoot on film trying to capture interesting spaces, atmospheres, fragile moments. I love good food and Italian coffee. I love nature - sea, trees, sky, clouds, mountains, the Moon... I'm also very interested in architecture, but even though I'm studying the subject at the university of Oulu (nothern Finland), I guess I appreciate natural beauty more than built. I appreciate beauty in all it's forms of existence; visual, musical, abstract...
