Elina Brotherus

Elina Brotherus was born in Finland in 1972. She creates both portraits and self-portraits, sometimes incorporating people emotionally close to her, to convey a state of mind and sentiment. They can be extremely personal, but she also uses landscape, not just for its own qualities, but also to convey the idea of human projection. For instance, her photographic series Horizons analogises the boundary between people by depicting the point at which land meets sky.
