DIVING
This series of photos offers a journey into the subconscious world, illustrates the stages of accepting the reality of the war in Ukraine from despair and panic to finding a new point of support and the intention to move forward, not to postpone life for later and appreciate its beauty despite everything.
1. A fall
The moment when all supports are destroyed. You don't know what will happen next and whether you will be there at all.
2. Panic
You are covered with horror. You don't know what to do: go or stay. There are no right answers here. Every decision can cost a life.
3. Walking in the dark
You act by touch, chaotically and irrationally, because all the laws of logic lose their force here.
4. Pivot point
When all around is chaos, follow your gut. Only you know what is best for you. Feel the inner silence, breathe deeply and feel the moment here and now.
5. Way up
No matter how hard it is, life goes on and it's beautiful. You have to find the strength in yourself to overcome fear, get out of numbness and find new meanings to live on.
Has been doing photography for about 10 years. In recent years, much attention has been paid to art and the nude direction. Interested in issues of aesthetics and perception in the frame. Works with the topics of interaction between a person and the external environment, contact between people, feeling oneself in space, connection between the spiritual and the physical.
