EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Human vs Life". Finnish artist Petri Damstén takes us on a journey into the depths of the human psyche. The image showcases an anonymous figure, perhaps a self-portrait, standing in a home studio adorned with macabre elements that evoke feelings of loneliness and melancholia. The subject wears a haunting mask, symbolizing the inner struggles we all face but often hide from the world. With ropes wrapped around his body like prison bars, he appears trapped in his own fears and anxieties. The lighting adds to the surreal atmosphere, casting deep shadows that enhance the sense of darkness and mystery. Damstén's masterful digital manipulation techniques bring out every detail with precision. The use of high contrast emphasizes both the man's vulnerability and strength as he engages in an imaginary boxing match against life itself. This juxtaposition between fragility and resilience invites viewers to reflect on their own battles with fear and sadness. Through this thought-provoking artwork, Damstén invites us to confront our deepest emotions while embracing our capacity for imagination and creativity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness, there is always room for growth and transformation.
