Märkälä's characteristic pink and green rhododendrons have recently started to be accompanied by lights at the edges of darknesses. While painting, Märkälä has thought about the night that she spent sleeping under the stars in a desert and how sailors used to navigate with the help of the stars.
Märkälä paints in layers and wants to paint light on top as a reminder of the good aspects and beauty of life.
