Johanna's artistic practice explores the complexities of desire through sculpture, photography, and art history. With a playful sense of humor, she challenges the perceived value of objects in contemporary culture and the art world.

Her works delve into the historical structure of object acquisition, examining how it has evolved from the 17th century to present day. From the materials and design of objects to their production and delivery methods, European concepts of power and brutality have been embedded into decorative vessels and art as symbols of success and wealth.

Through her investigations of utilitarian object-hood, beauty, and desire, Johanna utilizes GUCHI as a means to navigate the visual language and impact of this brutality. Her works invite viewers to engage in a dialogue about the intersection of art, culture, and power.
