Invited by Otso Kantokorpi, Sanna Karlsson-Sutisna presented a series of wood sculptures and drawings on wood reflecting on her parenthood and her multicultural family for the 2011 Mänttä Art festival.

Art critic Kantokorpi chose a theme from the Bible: Honour thy father and thy mother. He wanted to build an exhibition with a point of contact with every one of us: Everyone has a relationship of some kind with their parents. As the preparations for the exhibition unfolded, it became evident that there was a surprisingly wide spectrum of relationships between parents and children. Parents were approached through kindness and pain, longing and anger or respect and disappointment. Honesty was a characteristic feature in the art brought to Pekilo.
