Siina Levonoja - The Underwater Lifeforms And My Inner Mind 29.6. – 21.7.2024.

News item
The exhibition exposes Siina Levonoja’s ceramic sculptures and reliefs from years 2019-2024. The first sculptures sprang up from the enchantment of the coral reefs. Over years, the sculptures began to create their own world, using elements from the artist’s dreams, tempers and longing.
Picture of sunset heart. Heart shaped artwork.

-When I was a kid I had a 60 liter aquarium. I watched the fish and I dreamed of being a fish. This surreal longing toward lives in other realities and dimensions have stayed in me. The longing over the edge, behind the mirror, to the unknown reality. The dream of diving under the water surface, and to meet with the others.
