Hi! I’m Eli, or Elina. I‘m an artist from Oulu and Zurich, living and working in Berlin. I just published my first photobook called “To Whoever I’ll Be” which is a visual story about the process of adolescence and the slow awakening from a dream called childhood. It reflects a period marked by depression, melancholy, heartbreaks and other hidden aches. What does it mean to no longer find your way out of darkness? Why must my eyes scream, and my mouth cry? This photobook engages deeply with these questions, guiding a soul-longing healing process as a present to whoever I‘ll be.
