One-of-a-kind. Cyanotype
, 27.5 × 21.5 × 0.2 cm
Final dimensions, framed with museum-quality glass and a mat:
44.5 × 36.5 × 3 cm
The story behind it:
In the fall of 2024, Tina found two small, weakened young hedgehogs that would not have survived the winter without help. Luna and Oskar, as they were later named, weighed only about 280 grams at the time—far too little to get through the cold season on their own. With a lot of patience and care, Tina nursed them back to health until they reached a weight of around 900 grams. In May, they were finally released back into the wild and found a new home in Tina’s own garden.
In April 2025, Tina transformed her garden into a true insect paradise: The lawn gave way to hardy, native perennials that can withstand even the summer heat. Today, six to eight hedgehogs live there, including Luna and Oskar, who return every evening. But they aren’t the only ones who feel at home there—numerous butterflies, some of which Tina hadn’t seen since her childhood, have also returned to this little paradise.
The cyanotypes shown here—also known as iron-blue prints—depict plants from Tina’s garden. Some were carefully dried, while others were exposed directly to sunlight. This historic photographic printing process, which produces deep shades of blue, lends the images a personal and poetic expressiveness.
