David Clarke The eyes are certainly the mirror to the soul and Voukko certainly has a story to tell. She’s seen and done everything in life she needs to do. The whole image is drawn together by the expertly captured ice blue eyes, without which there would be would be no photograph. Wonderful !!
Voukko has suffered from severe rheumatism for several years. The photo are from my ongoing project ”People to whom I have invited myself”. In the work, I examine how humans try to create meaning and belonging during our limited time in life. I have met all the people involved in thish project through random meetings. Their appearance and charisma have piqued my interest, whereupon I have quite cheekily invited myself into their homes. During these meetings and conversations with unknown people interesting encounters have arisen.
