Jette Loona Hermanis, born in 1997, embodies the rich heritage of both Estonia and Latvia. Her artistic journey, rooted in theatre, dance, and music, naturally evolved into a career in choreography and performance art, where she skillfully blends these disciplines. A recurring theme in Hermanis’s work is the exploration of mystical transcendence and a deep-seated desire to convey emotion. Her creations are heavily influenced by the digital era, reflecting a preoccupation with the concept of self-focus and the portrayal of online personas. Through her art, Hermanis navigates the complex narratives of personal identity, existential contemplation, and the soul’s tribulations. Her approach to storytelling is multifaceted, yielding a spectrum of interpretations and perspectives. Her style, characterized as “Emo Fairytale,” is steeped in mythological symbolism, situated within the aesthetic of post-internet dark romanticism.
