Colors of hope
I made portraits, then printed them. Then I asked children to paint and color these prints as they would like. So all children used lots of colours, I think that all pictures are full of wonders and hope. By this series I would like to show that whatever happened with the man, in life there is always hope and faith in miracles. I believe that children helped me to express this idea visually

entry description
It is the series of photographs of children who pass treatment in the burn unit of Speransky Children’s Hospital. All of them got injuries with the different severities. Also all these children are under the guardianship of the Speransky Children's Hospital Fund, the only organization in Russia that implements the program of the psycho-social rehabilitation of burn patients and their families.I made portraits, then printed them. Then I asked children to paint and color these prints as they would like. So all children used lots of colours, I think that all pictures are full of wonders and hope. By this series I would like to show that whatever happened with the man, in life there is always hope and faith in miracles. I believe that children helped me to express this idea visually
