title
She was not prepared for a sudden change
war, did not involve moving to another environment.. These changes
are not according to plans.
Everything that is happening to me now seems like a long dream.
The life in which I found myself is happening beyond the limits of the
possible and normal. It seems like a fairy tale. Against the
background of pain from separation and feelings of guilt. With these
feelings, it is impossible to plan my life normally or adequately
evaluate myself. Although my feelings resonate with the sincere
actions of friends, acquaintances in Ukraine and the support and help
of those who are close to me here, where I am separated from my
usual planned, understandable life.
My inner world strives to be where I felt myself, whole, where
everything is familiar and close and you can make plans... The body
is far from this place. Consciousness tries to assure me that I did
everything right, saving part of my universe from war. I divide myself
into parts. And I scatter myself around life. Having split into parts, I
seem to have dissolved into the universe.
Far from home, new meetings, new conditions build my current
everyday life instead of me. I'm trying to wake up from a fairy dream
to take control of my life. Instead, I feel like a blank slate where my
Destiny can paint me any way it wants.
Kateryna chose medium photography as the most frank & honest way of knowing her inner world and a way of observing the outside world and recording its changes.
In her works she reflects on the thirst for love, loneliness, openness to herself, emotional connection with the objects around her in everyday life. Her desire is to provoke the viewer into a dialogue with herself, with her memory, experiences and emotions, in some cases even to try to escape from reality.
The composition of her photographs strives for minimalism with laconic details, symbolic accents and original color combinations, sometimes leaning towards surrealism. Kateryna is inspired by such authors as Kenne Gregoire, Richard Avedon, Kristin Vestgard, Sara Moon, Alex Prager, Alex Russell, Max Ernst.
Her photographs have appeared in the Duncan Miller Gallery, online Gallery Street photography. Ukraine, Ukrainian On-Line Photo Gallery, Portal 11 Gallery (Ukraine), NuArt Gallery (Ukraine) my portfolio on Vogue Italia.
She is a Member of the National Union of Photographic Artists of Ukraine
