Born in Novosibirsk, Russia. Ekaterina started taking photographs and developing deep interest in photography while studying a Law degree. After moving to London in 2006 she gained her first formal photography education at University of the Arts� London College of Communication. �Origami� is one of the series she is working on at the moment, using both, digital and analogue techniques. About the series: The art of origami was born in ancient Japan and its philosophy is linked to views and perceptions of the world of Dzen-Buddhizm. The process of creating an origami is illustrated by the Dzen-Buddhizm�s postulate that change is the only constant in life � everything is transient. A piece of origami represents something whole, something indivisible and a symbol. This series is about showing the complex nature and fragility of origami also as a symbol of the world around us.
Models designed by: �Butterfly� by Akira Yoshizawa, �Scorpion� by Fumiaki Shingu, �Bat� by Andrea Mantler and �Owl� by Stephen Weiss.
