Arja Kärkkäinen
Stand Straight Falling
13.11.-7.12.2025


A corner cracked open
	words leaked out
	
		or something		completed
			destination 	rot
		with desire
I burn the earth that used to be mine
the Idiot,	I dress naked
		to wear words of their own
		drape into a noose
		to hold their head
		under the carving waters
	currents
constantly renewing, earthy as the soil.

Arja Kärkkäinen (bd. 1986) is a multidisciplinary sculptor and a doctoral candidate at the Academy of Fine Arts Helsinki. Kärkkäinen lives in Helsinki and works in Mustio.
