It suggests art – in this case in a form of music - as a vehicle for redemption, offering a way out when an impasse seems inevitable. Resilience encompasses an ability to see an opening within an obstacle; in my work the obstacle becomes a part of new solution. A creative act launches the transformation of misfortune into possibility. In this piece I use child-like imagery, storytelling and basic technique to convey a bigger issue. Fairy tales or mythological narratives are an ancient medium. Stories are vehicles for transporting the mind and imagination to difficult and hidden matters of importance. While uncovering an inconvenient truth, they propose an unconventional and alternative way of seeing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1484997923322-HLLF6RVZRRA76Q29RWCP/IMG_0932+-+Copy.JPG Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1536122017379-SMK909D7VAJX6O7ZGCL3/image-asset.jpeg Work - the door https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1536123079842-X5PM0SSK4VS3ZJRDV6L5/image-asset.jpeg Work - Not a day on any calendar, 2018 Terhi Hakola https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1579571772599-MXLSQ07KWYFUPABXM1QG/IMG_5196.JPG Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1579588980526-4MV4C53D65CPJAUET7MF/image-asset.jpeg Work - Ylistaro 2019 Some time ago I returned to my grandparent’s uninhabited house in rural Finland. This video, with the space that I created for an exhibition, is my first attempt to put together thoughts and experiences of homes - places that live in us as much as we live in them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1524976037307-A0CK9T3XUY5B2YPZONSO/IMG_3609.JPG Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1616386421979-KO6Z1I9C5RU2L13EVFWG/lyrebird2.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1625296914417-49UT9EGGB3K7272NZ94E/image-asset.jpeg Work - Other House (Toinen Talo), 2021 This is an installation containing a plywood ‘house’ with two rooms, built and found objects and a video playing inside the dark backroom of the house. Borne from two important places of my life, my grandmother’s house in rural Finland and the burnt family house in rural NSW, this work talks about loss and hope, and the life of houses entangled with human lives across generations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1625298729911-JDD44U6GCREIXID0DXO4/image-asset.jpeg Work - Personages 2020 Third House is an animated video, loosely connected the installation Other House. First named as Personages, it honors the inanimate world as alive and vibrant as our human world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1625299389855-HWAIUSNEDOQRYEBJNACF/image-asset.jpeg Work - twentyfive spoons (kaksikymmentaviisi lusikkaa), 2021 installation with video https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1677039298807-PE5AUMUCUECY6A2K4U7F/Screenshot_20230222_031214.png Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1677040537321-SCDFDS34YV1271LJP834/Screenshot_20230222_032122.png Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1579576981631-AG6GK0OGXWTINK8TFHHR/_DSC9315.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1716803886700-CSAYJXB5BZGSOJQ1SAM3/image-asset.jpeg Work - terhi_hakola_between songs 2023 One cannot destroy what one loves. This world is stunningly beautiful. With this video work I share the amazement and wonder that happens when taking time to sit still and let the nature talk – the tree, the birds, the pond. Other narratives become unnecessary and a distraction in a wordless devotion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1762665931307-G861K3HHAV7LTT7Y2BB4/image-asset.jpeg Work - 2024 earth and evensong (maa ja iltavesper) In this video I wanted to follow the logic of dream, where the images following each other are sometimes seemingly disparate yet bound together by an invisible red thread. The logic that only makes sense if one surrenders to the flow of body’s memory, it’s unknown, unthinkable associations to forgotten events, hidden fears and desires. Yet, the images have a recognisable common nominator: our inviolable boundness to the earth and her elements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1762672497053-Z4XW1CCSM87QUZN9CIZM/image-asset.jpeg Work - Pyhäjärvi (Sacred Lake) 2025 Pyhäjärvi (Sacred Lake) is the name of the lake that I was born from. The goddess-protector of Finnish lakes and rivers, Vellamo, is also the guardian spirit of fishermen. In summertime my father was a fisherman. He lowered the fishing nets to the Lake; I learnt to row the boat. The boat had an end, long after my father had gone. I will have an end. The Lake stays. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1770706083004-D1X9IEVRE0W9GBWVVQ0S/image-asset.jpeg Work - Äiti-Puu (Mother-Tree) 2026 A tall Liquidambar styraciflua -tree towers in our urban backyard. She is over 100 years old and has witnessed lives of other families before us; she observes humans’ restlessness. Liquidambar is not an Australian native tree. I am not native either. We are immigrants from faraway lands. We have become friends – she is the older and wiser of us, and my confidant. She listens, and sometimes responds with a hum. She sees far, over the entire neighbourhood. My friend Liquidambar will still be standing, pushing against the foundations of our house, long after I am gone. https://www.terhihakola.com/work-1 daily 0.75 2025-11-09 https://www.terhihakola.com/itipuu-mothertree-2026 daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/t/698ad23869f0af490e6cfe01/1770705464007/ Äiti-Puu (Mother-Tree) 2026 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/698ad1cbdb58ee33483fda7b/698ad23869f0af490e6cfdff/1770705464007/ Äiti-Puu (Mother-Tree) 2026 https://www.terhihakola.com/itipuu-mothertree-2026-1 daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/t/698ad3ae1a21bb5626c0f2c1/1770705838703/ Äiti-Puu (Mother-Tree) 2026 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/698ad3764915776e5ad2327f/698ad3ae1a21bb5626c0f2bf/1770705838703/ Äiti-Puu (Mother-Tree) 2026 https://www.terhihakola.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-11-09 https://www.terhihakola.com/about daily 0.75 2024-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584637a6cd0f680ed3b4c5ed/1481252058979-W812ER0TQGIGLW3NX823/image-asset.jpeg About https://www.terhihakola.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2023-02-22 https://www.terhihakola.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2023-02-22 https://www.terhihakola.com/cv-old daily 0.75 2024-10-29
