Mirella Salo (b.1995, Nastola) lives and works in Helsinki. Her practice is an ongoing exploration of details, colors, materials, and shapes. The final work of art comes together by studying, organizing and repeating memories and materials. In her artistic practice, play is an important process with a serious goal: the aspiration to create and understand art. Perceptions of things change when one pays attention.
