Model Study 20 2008

Elina Brotherus' "Model Study 20" (2008) is a photographic self-portrait that places the artist in a natural setting, capturing a moment of solitude and connection to the environment. The figure, clad in bright orange pants and a green jacket, is situated by a small stream, cupping water in her hands, evoking themes of introspection and the cyclical nature of life. The blurred water and distant mountain range create a sense of depth and tranquility, characteristic of Brotherus's photographic style.
