Shadows, textures, and silence — this series explores the fragile border between visible and invisible. Forms dissolve into abstraction, inviting the viewer to experience what lies beyond the surface. The work exists between photography and sculpture, where the image becomes a meditative object.

Svitlana Zaritska lives and works in Kyiv, Ukraine. Studied at the University of Construction and Architecture, Culture and Arts, Kyiv Photo School, Art Photo courses by Dimitri Bogachuk. She has participated in exhibitions and has won many international photo competitions. Through photography she transforms reality and creates a unique world.
