This is one of the photographs from my latest series "The
Appleseed Necklace". The series is inspired on once predominant
Do-It-Yourself lifestyle in the country of my origin (Belarus) that
developed in the time of my early childhood. As I stage my
photographs today, I refer to my memories and nostalgic feelings
for the things that I have seen and heard in the past, events that I
have participated in.
Here I'm talking about creativity, craftsmanship, diligence and
typical recycling that were natural to the people living in
conditions of constant shortages. It was a time when one had to
“snatch” what was needed or to make it out of the accessible
materials.
