Saving my family, I left Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

In these photos, there are bright memories, warm emotions, lived happiness and images about Ukraine that keep our connection with our family and homeland.

A single impartible country, with flowering fields to the horizon.

Our life before the war is now the happiest life for us. Family holidays and all families together

The taste of homemade Ukrainian food.

“You are not alone” there is always a friend’s hand, support and help nearby.

The smell of books in native language.

Native colors of the flag.

I remember my homeland like this

My art is about finding the interesting in the simple and creating magic out of the ordinary. I like to create photographs where the viewer could see their own story. It could be a vivid childhood flashback or a modern life reflection.

The main characters of my works are everyday objects, food, and flowers - everything that is always at hand and that can be used without any restrictions. I love looking for unusual combinations. So, I turn plates into medieval outfits from paintings. Vegetables become funny animals, and daisies turn into ice cream.
