**Nanna Hänninen - Painted Oasis, 2025**

Made while traveling through Cairo, Fayoum, and Siwa, this series investigates the delicate and often fragile relationship between nature and humanity. Drawing on her distinctive approach to landscape photography, first developed in her series on the American West, Painted Desert, Hänninen does not offer straightforward depictions of the desert. Instead, through staining and hand-painting, each image becomes a singular, deeply personal response to a shared reality. All works are unique hand painted archival pigment prints.
