December in Finland arrives with its endless nights. The days retreat, the air sharpens, and though the season carries holidays and rituals, it can also feel like the loneliest time of the year. Silence thickens, snow covers the familiar, and the heart begins to long for something near - a hearty presence, a voice, the closeness of another.

​

Closeness as in the nearness of a hand that does not withdraw, the warmth of another’s breath in the cold, a shared blanket in a dim room, the assurance that we are not entirely alone. Carrying us through the long, dark days, it lives in memory, in moments once shared with someone dear, or in our imagination.

The exhibition is on display from 11th to 21st December. Warm welcome to the opening on Thursday, 11th December, from 17:00 to 21:00 at The Blue Verve! We look forward to seeing you.​
