In my still lifes I interpreted artists' paintings and reinterpreted painterly female imageries through the simple things that surround us in everyday life.
In this photographic project, summer is explored not simply as a season, but as a fleeting state of life - a moment filled with energy, light, and small everyday wonders.
In my “Sweet Illusions” project, I decided to look at compositions from a new angle for myself: to create a photo collage as an illusion, turning two-dimensional space into three-dimensional.
These dried flowers symbolize our peaceful life before the war, which, like them, paused at the peak of its bloom. They have dried up and cannot blossom again, just as we, Ukrainians, cannot return to the life we had before.
«Taste in the Details» blends fashion and food into a surreal visual metaphor. A shirt adorned with cheese, cutlery, and a prosciutto bowtie invites reflection on how identity is shaped not only by what we wear — but by what we consume. Taste becomes statement!
When eggs become perls
I grew up in a village where fresh eggs and chickens walking in the yard were a common thing.
Ecology and technology are changing our world.
But what if, one day, a natural egg becomes a luxury, inaccessible to many?
For me, this photo is not just about the future of natural products.
It’s also about re-evaluating values.
Today, simple things, whether it’s reading paper books or taking a walk in the park without a mask, may, in the future, become an expensive pleasure.
Appreciate simplicity before it disappears, and moments while they remain accessible.
Instant gourmet
This shot is not about food. It is about the art of visual manipulation.
Behind the flawless pink facade and rose petals lies ordinary instant ramen.
The perfect metaphor for our time: a beautiful wrapper hiding absolute emptiness.
Edible Wardrobe
What if your food says more about you than your wardrobe?
This image explores the concept that we are what we eat.
Our habits reflect our health, mood, and lifestyle. In this visual performance, croissants become more than food— they are a choice that shapes our identity, proving that our plate is the truest mirror of who we are.
The choice to see
For me, art photography is an opportunity to put on ‘rose-colored glasses.’
It is a conscious choice to see the world with optimism, no matter what.
Even when reality seems dark or empty, imagination can fill it with flavor, color.
Just like we did in childhood.
The objects may appear empty, but their shadows reveal the joy hidden within.
It is a reminder that if you look closely, you can always find something good in an ordinary day.
Point of stress
This work reflects a somatic response to anxiety/stress, where even food becomes difficult to approach. The cactus symbolizes internal tension, turning self-care into discomfort. It explores a fragile state familiar to many today, when chronic stress makes the world sharp and simple actions, like eating, lose their sense of safety.
