My self-portraits are made in a dark room and then printed using the cyanotype method. I added other objects to complement the composition during contact printing to better convey a nostalgic, immersed mood. My inner garden is a poetic exploration of the self and nature, using the cyanotype technique to weave a narrative that transcends the boundaries of time and medium. It is a journey through the tender intersections of nostalgia and self-awareness, where the language of flowers meets the canvas of personal reflection.
I was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. I received a master's degree in finance from the Kyiv National University of Economics. Always having an interest and passion for photography and visual arts, I studied at the Kyiv School of Photography and the Chekachkov Photo Academy. In my work, I explore non-obvious phenomena, connections and aesthetics. I admire the diversity of life, both in nature and in society.
