Anni Laukka (b. 1982) is a Finnish artist exploring the emotional terrain between shadow and light. Her practice engages with socially relevant themes, often using unconventional materials such as toys collected from bombed Ukrainian homes or plastic waste washed ashore in Japan. With a background as a kindergarten teacher and mother of three, Laukka is committed to amplifying children's voices and perspectives, connecting personal experience with universal concerns. In her innovative approach, the history of materials meets the play of light, giving each piece a unique voice and opening conversations about the pressing issues of our time.
