Elli started This project, Night Light in Uppsala, in November 2021 during the shortest days in Sweden. Fortunately, festivals are held in Uppsala every year, like "All light in Uppsala". These incredible beautiful light installations give warmth to the city. The colours of artificial light combined with the nature of the night create a harmonious synthesis and give pleasant sensations to residents and guests of the city. In the city's atmosphere, one can feel the joys of hope, love and faith, which the population of our planet has lacked so much in the past two years, during the pandemic. Elli also experienced the atmosphere of the city and wanted to capture her sensations and convey them to the viewer. When she was preparing this project, Elli was especially inspired by the colour style of Georgi Pinhasov, Ernst Haas and Clarissa Bonet. It is important for Elli if the viewer can feel the same experiences as she had. For her, that is the best reward and recognition for her work.
