Bridge Between Two Worlds (Finnish Mythology)
Us Between Two Realms
Us Between Two Realms
In Nordic folklore, swamps and swamp lakes have long been regarded as sacred thresholds — places where our world and the underworld quietly meet. For Finns, these landscapes have been sites of ancient rituals, where people gathered to remember loved ones and offer tokens to the spirits that dwell between realms.
This piece is a gentle reminder of those two worlds — and of how thin the line between them truly is.
If you wish, imagine the sky as all those who will come after us, and the depths below as memories of those who came before. And here we are, balanced on a slender tree trunk, embodying the present moment: a bridge suspended between past and future, above and below, memory and hope.
How are you using this precious time?
“No spirit shows its face here,
yet old stories fill the air
and water quietly whispers,
memories of a distant shore
tales of those who came before.
In this sacred stillness,
the worlds and loved ones are never far.”

A quiet consultation
Art chooses its place as much as we choose it. If you’d like advice — on size, framing, or finding the piece that belongs in your space — I’m here to help. I bring both an artist’s eye and a background in interior design, should you wish for a quieter kind of consultation.
