Tunne-Inka (Emotional Inka)
This painting represents my emotional side. A lot happens there. I always feel strongly. During the time I painted this I also felt a lot darkness in my mind. Especially the process of making this particular piece allowed me to explore different shades of my presence.
Järki-Inka, vaaleanpunainen (Rational Inka, pink)
In this painting I visualize kindly rational side of me. Painting looks unfinished because also this side of me is just recently found. Paintings represents the motherly side of me. This pink rational Inka is the best communicating with the Emotional Inka since it also understands and appreciates emotions and emotional expression.
Järki-Inka, sininen (Rational Inka, Blue)
In this painting I visualize the practical side of me. This is the side who keeps my email organized, cleans my home efficiently, take care of my personal finance, and in general perform all the responsible adult obligations.
In this painting I visualize the cold and straightforward part of me. It is the part of me who can act in extreme and tough situation. For example, this side of me called the police when friend of mine was abused during remote lecture. This side of me can make the quick the decisions, leave the emotions aside, and act. This is the bold bitch who don’t give a fuck and don’t listen bullshit excuses. This side of me always act towards the truth even though it would require causing extremely hard emotions in people around me.
Järki-Inka, musta (Rational Inka, Black)
Ankeuttaja (Dementor)
This painting represents the darkness in the world. the crippling force that takes the joy of life. The name Dementor is reference to Harry Potter and the inspiration comes from there.

In this audiovisual artwork I explored myself in very deep level. Its parts represent different sides of me. The audio communicates the feelings through the making process. I let the audience very close to me, especially in the audio. The audio is in Finnish since it is my first language. The emotions can still be felt even though one does not speak Finnish. The purpose of making this artwork was also to develop the communication and co-operation between different sides of me to protect me from a crippling force that takes the joy of life.
