"Without air"
In a year of learning, I developed expertise and discovered a fascinating world of art photography. I was studying aesthetics and composition under the mentorship of a renowned Ukrainian photographer and art expert - Dimitri Bogachyk.
Photography for me is one of the ways of self-expression. It is full of freedom to express, create and inspire. It is as a way to capture a moment, embrace it with my vision and evoke deep emotions in the viewers and allow them to feel the harmony within the scene.

entry description
Іt is difficult to describe your emotions when there is a war in your country. Life is divided into "before" and "after". All the most valuable - was placed in an alarming suitcase. New problems and challenges are appear, among which the main one - is the preservation of life. Yours, children, friends, citizens of your country. A little more than half a year after the war in Ukraine, I went abroad with my children. A change of countries, a change of residence, the world seems, Your World, which you nurtured and built before, collapses and crumbles like a sandcastle. From the terrible news about the bombing, destruction, death of soldiers and civilians, it is difficult for you to breathe. then you get used to this state and live, occasionally gasping for air. The series "Without Air" was born from my own experience. It consists of a self-portrait and an image of vacuum-packed fruits and flowers. Vacuuming extended their shelf life, but deprived them of certain properties, the organic nature of being. By leaving Ukraine, my home, I saved my life and life of my children, but I deprived myself of the opportunity to breathe freely. It's not me, the war is to blame.about the photographer
