Schematic illustration that I created for COLDWEBS project.
The project looked into food webs and salmonid fish populations in cold-water Fennoscandian lakes at different latitudes and altitudes, how natural and anthropogenic factors impact those food webs and fish populations #ResearchIllustration

I truly appreciate jobs like this! Helping to visualize important topics about the future of the natural world. A figure showing Future biodiversity loss scenarios in Finland was commissioned by the Finnish Nature Panel (@luontopaneeli.fi‬) in 2023

My drawing of a "living fossil" tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus apus) for the Daugavpils Bat Centre in Daugavpils, Latvia. These crustaceans are occasionally found in the moats of Daugavpils Fortress. A rare sight, as they appear only in the spring if there is flooding that year. #SciComm #illustration

My photos were published in Arterritory.com arterritory.com/lv/vizuala_m... At the moment @glokalizacija.bsky.social is the only one of all of the workshop participants with whom I am connected here

My job was to help organize suitable spaces for the forkshop, introducing participants to the nature (and guiding them through the “jungle” of less-visited corners) and deep dive into the history of the fortress, and of course - documenting the event, so here are some photos

Project provided platform for design researchers to engage with local communities and try to rethink the urban environment and sustainable future, focusing on more-than-human spaces in Daugavpils Fortress and the city

Events like this require a lot of organising effort, a lot of stressful work, so I want to share photos of the team that made the conference happen

The last day's program included three outdoor trips into the nature. I went with the group to the Hyppäänvuori natire trail with impressive landscapes and massive, old pine tree

My fingers hurt from holding camera, but it was so much fun! Thanks to the organisers of @oikosfinland.bsky.social for choosing me as a photographer, especially to @pauliarancibia.bsky.social!
