Series “Sweet illusions”
I have always been fascinated by illusionists and imaginative play.
The optical mystery they create by breaking a person's understanding of an image.
As a food photographer, I work a lot with food.
I love bright colors that lift my spirits, and sweets, because for me this is the main association with childhood.
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.
Each work is a printed photograph of a food composition I previously created, the top of which I “finish” with real food details. Each photograph is one frame.
With my works I want to captivate the viewer, make a puzzle, and play with imagination.
I wish the viewer to be completely immersed into the image and get carefree joy that we feel being children and exploring the world around.
