Cecilia is an interdisciplinary artist focused in the fields of scenography, dance, and cinema. Originally from Finland, she uses her studies and experiences (having lived in the UK, USA, and the Netherlands) to create work focusing on the transience and fragility of time and location - often working with paper, light, performative time, and natural elements. Cecilia is inspired both by aesthetics and artistic research and hopes to soon find a position where she can help facilitate and produce other artists.

    Dear reader, This is an exposition detailing the reality of how making art can produce and cultivate thought. It is a project that started with a methodical approach to natural light and aesthetics, that due to my empathetic response transformed into something bigger than myself. It became a metaphor for changing perspectives, getting out of comfort zones, putting in the effort, humans helping humans, and spreading ideas through aesthetics and curiosity. It has become a tool to connect and communicate with other people about difficult topics, and the dark side of human experience in an environment that is creative and beautiful. The exposition is ordered in linear chapters that you can access through the contents. Since the project itself has become a vessel for a number of topics all extremely significant and important. I have added resources as the last chapter. Nothing within the chapters will be discussed in excess but the exposition does contain the mention of suicide, sexual assault, and racism. - C
