Anni Laukka The Unglory, 2024

“The Unglory” is part of a series of images that highlight the less glamorous side of the artist that remains hidden from the public. It depicts the demanding everyday life of writing applications, sourcing materials and experimenting, long working days that go on late into the evening and even at weekends. The work symbolises the invisible work and perseverance that artistic creation requires, but which often goes unnoticed.
