This ongoing project consists of the flower series, in which I explore the nature of my painful and ambiguous feelings. Series appear in the project, as I comprehend life situations. The resolution of internal conflicts becomes possible only through the acceptance of heavy emotions and sublimation in a creative act.
Flowers as a symbol of the transience of existence, that is frozen in eternity in the form of photographs, also the subjectivity of color perception, emphasize the unique spiritual path of each person, its fragility and at the same time strength.
Julia Lazumirska (b. 1981, Ukraine) is a lens-based artist from Kyiv, Ukraine. She studied photography at Kyiv Photography School. She was selected one of the FRESH EYES TALENT 2021 among the emerging European talents. Her practice is focused on non-judgmental observation of own inner world and interpretation this experience through flowers, found images in nature, gestures and body of people. Her works appear at the intersection of reality, intuitive sensations, and consciousness. The main themes author explores are "new spirituality" and acceptance of life.
