—————–

Dandelions is a long-term documentary photography project that Aino Väänänen has been developing since 2018. Through immersive photography in Romania’s major cities, she documents the opioid crisis, people living with or at risk of HIV and their struggle with addiction. Her approach has evolved from traditional portraiture towards a more immersive style that compassionately reflects the intensity and complexity of her subjects’ world.
