THE SENSES PROJCT
What is is it like to come back to your senses?
The foundations of this project took 16-years to build, with contributions from real models, influencers, etnrepreneurs, studios, real painting, and project partners.
There are now 27 new sessions done with 27 real models for season II.
Senses Generative, starting a year ago, also expanding to use AI in order to have a series next to the artisan one, utilizing the raw material from the real photoshoots.
Senses Season II
Fashion & IG models meet
an art wellness process
The Senses series is a collision of fashion modeling, Instagram culture, and a deep artistic wellness practice.
In fashion, models, as well as entrepreneurs of all sorts are often pushed toward unhealthy lifestyles. The shoots commodify them—they're there to sell the perfume, the car, the makeup, whatever. The same applies to starting a. company, being independent, etc. On Instagram, many female influencers trade on their beauty, sexuality, and following to sell products.
The Senses project flips this dynamic. It’s not about the product. It’s about the person—down to their human core. Their childhoods, their traumas, their dreams. The art comes later. The “selling” happens once the piece is complete.
The experience itself is a unique and transformational.
“The best way to describe working with Vesa is transcendence. Our personal and professional stories were integrated into hours of creation in flow. Most people think that the power of art lies in its ability to bring people together, but at its core, art returns us to ourselves. It connects us with our most vulnerable and ecstatic emotions, elevating the human experience beyond survival into a shared journey, into transcendence.”
— Anna Lindfors, Psychologist, Author & Speaker , Senses model
The first 11 generative works of the series of 100 are now live with Trio / Ordinals Bot
A News BTC article on to go deeper into the substance of these works.
The series is currently looking for new models and collaborators.
The studio is in Helsinki, Finland, but international shoots are also possible.
All collaborations are done under a contract and agreed with the model before the shoot. To ensure both the artist and model are protected, we have a protocol in place to make sure the personal space of the model is respected. Safety is a high priority.
