  What Do you See?

  Story: Western women tend to feel superior to the women of the less developed countries. We think that being under the male rule they don’t have even freedom to think. We don’t see that we are blindfolded by the fashion trends that forces us to be something we can’t or don’t want to be and that makes us feel that we are not good as we are. Looking through the eyes of other women, we can share their wisdom.

  Evolution

  The Story: This shadow box with it’s labeled specimens could be found at a museum of the future. It depicts how women’s bodies have been shaped at the whim of the fashion over the millennials. Should the prevailing trend of big boobs continue, sooner or later there will be a big bang leaving us wondering what is next. Don’t forget to quote me if/when one day you can buy a boob-kit from a pharmacy and DIY like you would color your own hair.

  Pillow

  Pillow:

  While attending elementary school in Finland way back in the 60’s, girls were required to take handicraft classes. One of the projects was to embroider our initials on a pillowcase. Being awkward and clumsy with my hands, I used a thick thread with a gigantic needle and went over my initials many times to be sure they would show. During her rounds, my teacher stopped by my desk and -trying to hide her smile- said Pirjo, if I were you, I wouldn’t sleep on the pillowcase because it will scare your face for life. On the hind side the humiliating incident turned out to be a good one; turning bad experiences into positive ones became my life philosophy.

  The Pillow can be used as a paper napkin holder or paperweight. You can have your own message/names/initials etc. on the pillow. Eight characters max on both lines can be ordered for custom pieces.

  Genesis

  The inspiration for Genesis came from Finland national epic Kalevala

  It explains the birth of the world; In the beginning there was a maiden sitting in an ocean. A large bird flew by and laid an egg on her knee. From the warmth of her body the egg hatched and cracked in two pieces; the top became the sky and the bottom the earth.
