In the piece The “Trying” Nature Fitting three mannequins stand on wooden bases to show the heavy impact of fast fashion. Their bodies are made of broken pieces, suggesting that our own identities feel fractured by the clothes we buy and discard.
The background looks like both a natural wetland and a pile of waste, creating a clever play on the title. It shows a world where nature is trying to survive while the fashion machine is simply trying on the environment like a costume. This work reminds us that the industry often treats both people and the planet as tools for the next quick trend.

A Finnish artist with an international background. Nadine holds a Master’s in Fine Art and engages passionately with oil, acrylic, and sculpture, exploring themes that examine the intersection of identity, nature, and cultural narratives through her chosen mediums and exploring the experiences that shape our understanding of the world.
Nadine found profound inspiration in a photography exhibition that focused on environmental issues, as the striking aesthetics and compelling storytelling present within the works captured the urgency of these concerns and significantly influenced my artistic direction.
Shortly after graduating, she undertook a research paper on the Sustainable Development Goals, which continues to shape her artistic approach. She aims to create works that are not only visually striking but also relevant and relatable, utilising nature and organic materials to emphasise pressing issues.
Her artistic journey was greatly enhanced by a scholarship from the Swedish Cultural Foundation, which enabled her to participate in an artist residency at AiR Frosterus Artist Residence in Finland. This experience centred on a project exploring the connections between language and culture, culminating in a significant exhibition inspired by the interplay of nature, people, and language.
Her hobby of weaving further deepens her connection with materiality, enriching my creative process and enhancing my exploration of visual language.
