Kaiho I

This work was created in Finland in 2011 and 2012 and forms part of the 'Kaiho' series, a video based triptych relating to the concept of the 'kaiho' (Finland's version of saudade or longing for something unobtainable). 'Kaiho I' explores the concept with Finnish tango movement and lyrics through an adaptation of The Kalevala, the Finnish national epic, relating it to a memory relayed to the artist by an elderly man about how he lost his wife.
