Sometimes we encounter an author and feel that they could have been our best friend. And sometimes we meet someone who seems like a part of us or we are a part of them.

PORTRAIT

Every place he visited, every person he met, were mirrors reflecting different parts of him.
You'll find that it's not always the destination that transforms you, but the journey itself.

FASHION

Hold to the great image, and the whole world will come and attend you.
In the dance of shadows and light, find your rhythm and illuminate the way.

VISIBLE_INVISIBLE
VISIBLE_INVISIBLE is a journey into the depth of the female soul — into her thoughts, her body — and into the internal split between what a woman shows to the world and what remains hidden within.
It is a project about visible women and the problems that often go unnoticed.
About how outwardly we may seem stable, strong — visible — while pain, fear, or untapped power remain invisible to everyone around.
This project is the author’s Master’s thesis at the Faculty of the Psychology of Creativity at Saratov State University, supported by American International organization Art of Health.
At its foundation is a phototherapeutic act connecting the image of a woman with the image of a birch tree: each participant, removing the bark-mask from her face, releases pain and returns to herself.
The first stage of the project was presented at the Mars Contemporary Art Museum.
“People will do anything, no matter how absurd,
in order to avoid confronting their own souls.”
C.G. Jung
TRANSFORM
In the vast maze of existence, seeking one's true identity is the ultimate quest. Amidst the noise of consumerism, where possession trumps purpose, it's easy to lose oneself. But wearing another's mask diminishes our essence. Chasing hollow gains, we stray further from our core. Remember, the richest treasures are those of the soul. Don't be swayed by society's whims; for in authenticity, true fulfillment begins.
