EDITORS COMMENTS
In this haunting self-portrait titled "Waiting for the Coffin". Finnish artist Petri Damstén captures a profound sense of melancholia and loneliness. The photograph, taken in his home studio in Kuopio, Finland, showcases Damstén's mastery of digital manipulation and fine art techniques. The image features a man wearing a mask that exudes an air of macabre mystery. Surrounded by darkness, he stands beside a prison-like cell adorned with delicate roses. The contrast between fragility and confinement is striking, evoking feelings of sadness and introspection. Damstén's use of lighting adds depth to the composition, casting eerie shadows that heighten the surreal atmosphere. Through his Nikon D850 camera equipped with Nikkor lenses (24-70mm f2 and 35mm f1), he skillfully captures every detail with precision. "Waiting for the Coffin" invites viewers into a world where time seems suspended—a moment frozen in uncertainty. The juxtaposition of life represented by the vibrant rose against death symbolized by the coffin creates tension within the image. This thought-provoking artwork serves as an autoportrait—an intimate reflection on mortality and human fragility. It transports us to a realm where emotions are raw and unfiltered, leaving us captivated by its enigmatic beauty. Petri Damstén's work transcends traditional photography boundaries through his masterful digital artistry. With each creation like "Waiting for the Coffin" he challenges our perceptions while inviting us
