Amoeba explores the feeling of stagnation and being caught in a loop where things never truly change. This artist’s book by Iina Esko combines text and photographs, all created using analogue methods. The book is hand-bound by the artist.
Through the metaphor of the amoeba, the work examines stasis, continuity, and the recurring cycles of expectation and withdrawal.
