"Thresholds of Time"

In the heart of Kyiv, a city steeped in history that stretches back to ancient times, I have embarked on a visual journey to unearth and capture the profound connection between the present and the past. "Thresholds of Time" is a photographic series that delves into the entrancing doorways of buildings and churches constructed between the 11th century at the times of Kievan Rus till th e 20th century, inviting viewers to traverse the thresholds of history itself.
These images are an exploration of Kyiv's soul, an homage to the generations that have walked these ancient streets.

Iryna Vozniak is a fine art photographer, based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Through her lens she captures the profound beauty embedded in both the grandeur of nature and the simplicity of everyday life. Celebrating color and shape, she invites viewers to rediscover the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary, urging to pause, observe, and find art in the tapestry of life that surrounds us.
