She then uses a layering technique to capture one whole season in one single image. However, the images in this series retain the feeling of the Impressionist era; the feel of Monet, the colors of Renoir, and the tones of Turner are all present. Unlike other artists who utilize photographic layering, occasionally Karhu inserts herself within the act of taking the photo, so that we see her as a blur, almost ghostly, yet the color of her coat and hat establishes her presence within the image. Her photographs become an abstraction into another place, a passage that alters reality by blurring the boarders between one moment and the next one.
