Children's game
The model is my daughter Melania, who is 11 years old.
These photos tell the story of a girl who is in transition between a child and an adult girl. This is the hardest and most interesting stage in a person's life. Changes occur not only in the spiritual plane (thinking, behavior, communication), but also in the physical (body transformation).
This is the period when a teenager is separated from the family, but not completely, he remains still connected with it, but the orbit of his movement becomes much larger than before. There is a "sense of adulthood" as a neoplasm of this age. A sense of maturity refers to a special form of consciousness is treated as an adult, the view of himself as an adult, the desire to be and seem to adults.
Each photo represents a certain crisis phase from pronounced negativism to the absence of negative symptoms.
P.S. no matter how sad and terrible the situation with the pandemic is, for me personally, quarantine has become a unique opportunity to be with your child for 6 months every day, and watch her turn from a small child into an adult girl.

about the photographer
My name is Anastasiya. On all of my photographs I try to reflect the loneliness, detachment, alienation characters from the outside world. I am trying to catch and display the images at the state of complete immersion in itselves. The state of loneliness - is either exciting or scary at the same time, controversial In many ways, because it is very scary to be solo - on the one hand, but on the other - absolutely necessary. No matter what - if we were sociable or contrary, every person in this world, is originally lonely. And frankly speaking, we can be honest for the real matter only with ourselves and the night sky.back to gallery
