ANNI SALONEN
FINNISH, BORN 11TH FEBRUARY 1991
BORN TO GO
Anni’s process started out traveling for a few months in Eastern Europe, living out of what she could carry in a backpack and questioning what she really needed, what is functional, meaningful and necessary. She got inspired by people living mobile lives, particularly by new age travelers with their free festivals, raves and demonstrations lifestyle. They live and travel in vans, hippie buses and horse carriages, escaping from a boring life of rules and routines and materialistic values. They live a life of tough survival out in the nature, sometimes in harsh weather conditions but at the same time they are free, they have fun and they live by their own personal rules.
