On Objectivity in Writing

It is widely acknowledged that we are all cultural and social subjects and, as such, we can never be completely detached from these conditions when creating intellectual work.

Still, it is worth asking where those influences begin to enrich a text, and where they might start to limit it — especially when developing ideas or building narrative worlds meant to be read across different contexts.

This reflection does not seek definitive answers. Can a writer ever fully step outside their own cultural framework? To what extent are these traces desirable within a text? And when do they become part of an author’s distinctive voice rather than a constraint?

Creative for creative is not always easy, but at Goodword Agency we established a brand centered on narrative, strategy, and teamwork. The quill emerged as our guiding emblem, representing both artistry and purpose. This understanding influenced a dynamic visual framework rich in significance: intersecting shapes, directing arrows, and bespoke typography. Each element was crafted to evoke alignment, going beyond mere refinement. ⁠

Really like the thinking behind the quill as a guiding emblem. The narrative-driven approach to branding makes it feel much more meaningful.

My goal was to create a design that instantly grabs attention through bold typography and contrast. Built entirely in Kittl, using its powerful text and layout tools to bring the concept to life.

This was a case study I developed for my students during my AI image course at Helsinki Summer University. Together we explored how an editorial visual language can continue consistently from image to image and further into moving image within AI-based visual production. The focus was not the technology itself, but authorship — how AI can be used consciously as part of a creative process. For me, AI is not about generating images, but about how visual worlds are directed, shaped and continued by the maker. Alongside my artistic work, I now offer trainings as well as commissioned visual and animation projects for clients working with AI in their visual production. Eden Laura Rautjoki & AI, 2026.
