I took this photo in the museum. It was the last day of the Dali exhibition in Kyiv. The museum worker was dressed in an elegant dress with a white collar. I immediately had an idea for the shot. I offered Anna (that was the name of the museum worker) to take a picture of her. She initially refused. I spent several hours in the museum looking at the exhibits. And then Anna approached me and said that she wanted to be photographed and that she had never been photographed by visitors of the museum .

I am a fine art photographer working with still life and floral imagery. My work explores flowers as metaphors for emotion, time, and transformation, with a strong emphasis on composition and visual clarity. I develop cohesive photographic series intended for exhibition.
