Finnish photographer iiu Susiraja creates unflinching self-portraits, often incorporating household items in her compositions. She positions her body and props in unexpected ways, suggesting endless creative possibilities in seemingly mundane circumstances. Susiraja says, “I find inspiration when having a moment of rest on the couch. I am thinking of different objects in my mind. The most important matter is what kind of feelings objects generate.”
