Connections

  • Photographer
    Anna Korbut, Ukraine

The photo series explores the connections between people, humans and nature, and person and inner self through the combination of portraits and still life. Our connection to the body and embodied emotions. Harmony in life emerges when we develop not only the mind but also the body. The body is the only physical thing that we own during our whole life. I analysed the new forms of connections between humans, and fluidity in the concepts of gender, family, and sustainability.

Anna Korbut (b. 1989) is a visual artist from Ukraine working with photography and mixed media, currently based in Switzerland. She explores the relationships between humans and nature and deeply engages with Anthropocene issues, starting a dialogue with science at a time of advanced climate change. Anna also delves into the individual's inner world and interpersonal connections. She experiments with digital and analogue techniques, drawing inspiration from mountains' beauty, Augusto Giacometti's and Helen Frankenthaler's vivid colours, Auguste Rodin's sculptures, and Erich Fromm's texts.
