Kuvastos

Kuvastos is a Finnish term that translates to "image collection" or "picture gallery" in English. It generally refers to a curated or organized compilation of images, often digital. This collection can be personal, such as a personal photo album, or professional, like a stock photo library or a photographer's portfolio. The term implies a degree of selection and arrangement, rather than just a random assortment of pictures.

In practical terms, a kuvastos might be a website dedicated to showcasing artwork, a folder on a computer filled with digital photographs, or even a physical album containing prints. The purpose of a kuvastos can vary widely; it might be for personal reminiscence, professional display, artistic expression, or archival purposes. The organization within a kuvastos can also differ, ranging from simple chronological order to thematic grouping or detailed tagging. The context in which the term is used usually clarifies the specific nature and intended use of the image collection.
