Through the Shadow explores emotions and experiences that often remain unseen or are difficult to put into words.
Agni Kuokkanen examines themes of shame, guilt, fear and vulnerability, as well as the traces these emotions leave on the body, memory and one's sense of self.
The exhibition features large-scale charcoal drawings, ceramic works and sculptural jewellery. Deep black charcoal surfaces, organic forms and layered structures create a visual world in which inner experiences become visible.
In these works, shadow is not merely a symbol of darkness or negativity. It also represents the place where people hide their vulnerability, fears and memories. At the same time, it becomes a space for transformation, understanding and acceptance.
Agni Kuokkanen is a Polish-born artist based in Finland and a Visual Arts student at LAB University of Applied Sciences in Lappeenranta. Her artistic practice combines drawing, painting, ceramics, jewellery art and installation. Her work has been exhibited in Finland as well as internationally in Poland, Italy, Spain and Chile.
