Rauha Helin
she/they
Rauha Helin (b. 2002) is a visual artist who combines various lensbased media in her work. She has always been interested in the documentary nature and its value as evidence within in the context of art. Helin is currently working with an investigative and conscious gaze. In her practice, she often seeks new connections and contexts between different materials and positions. Helin's visual language is inspired by the world she has observed and experienced, as well as the fragility of time.
In the summer of 2026, Helin will serve as the operations manager of the Kerintalo community garden.
