Handle with Care
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a hauntingly beautiful self-portrait by Finnish photographer Petri Damstén, captured in his home studio in Kuopio, Finland. The image, taken with a Nikon D850 and a Sigma lens, presents a melancholic and introspective depiction of the human condition, as the artist explores themes of anxiety, loneliness, and fragility. In this surreal and macabre scene, Damstén portrays himself as a human sculpture, trapped behind a mask of tape and shards. The cell-like background adds to the sense of confinement and isolation, while the dark lighting and digital manipulation in Photoshop create an otherworldly atmosphere. The title "Handle with Care" serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate nature of the human psyche and the need for compassion and understanding. The image is a testament to Damstén's mastery of fine art photography and his ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary. The use of a broken cell phone as a prop adds an additional layer of meaning, as it symbolizes the fractured nature of modern communication and the disconnection that can come with it. Despite the dark and somber tone, "Handle with Care" is a deeply human and relatable work of art. It invites the viewer to reflect on their own experiences of anxiety, sadness, and the feeling of being trapped in their own minds. Through his art, Damstén offers a glimpse into the complexities of the human experience, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, we are not alone.
