Two Ways to Carry a Cauliflower (2021-ongoing) is a performative photography series exploring women's self-portraiture through play. To free the subject and the gaze from certain patriarchal ideals of femininity, the subject depicted in the images is portrayed playfully and tenderly as a woman who behaves, looks, and performs on her terms and rules.
Often, playfulness can be perceived as naivety when associated with a female artist. Sarpaniemi, however uses it as a source of power. The portrayed characters offer the possibility to continuously reconstruct oneself. In her universe, identity, reality, and imagination intertwine. Sarpaniemi is not creating an alter ego, but instead, presenting an honest representation, in which she recognize herself.
