According to legends, red poppies bloom at the places of fierce battles, where the blood of warriors was spilled. My photo project is dedicated to unbreakable Ukrainian soldiers. On the battlefields in Ukraine, poppies turned black from fire and ash. Their tender petals were cruelly scorched by the fire of war, but I believe they did not perish. Instead, they have changed their structure and form and continue to exist. Each black flower inspires us with its shape and reminds us of the firmness and steadfastness of Ukrainian heroes.
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.
