corpus

A debut photobook that delves into the journey of self-discovery, encompassing both our physical and emotional well-being. It boldly challenges and dismantles societal stigmas that have surrounded these subjects.

'Corpus' shines a light on the hidden struggles faced by many young women dealing with various mental and physical health challenges. It is an exploration of the complex relationship between body and mind in contemporary society, aiming to foster a deeper understanding of this profound connection. More coming soon.


[kɐˈrobʲɪt]


The term "коробить," meaning to warp or distort, metaphorically encapsulates the transformations depicted in our work.


"KOROBIT" [kɐˈrobʲɪt] is a collaborative photographic project with artist Dasha Vasko, exploring the warping of identity and memory through the lens of displacement. The project juxtaposes intimate portraits with reflective mirrors, weaving a cinematic narrative enriched by poetry from Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Mandelstam, and Vvedensky. Dasha's sketches add a dynamic layer to the imagery, creating a multifaceted experience that delves into nostalgia, womanhood, and the passage of time. 

space between (apart)

 

‘Space Between (Apart)’ delves into the intricacies of a conceptual performance, capturing the profound dialogue between two female performers. The lens becomes a silent witness to the unspoken language that unfolds in the delicate interplay of bodies, textures, and emotions.

The simplicity of black and white serves as a canvas, accentuating the nuances of the performers' physicality and the subtle choreography that exists in the negative spaces. Through these images, I invite viewers to explore the profound beauty found in the gaps, the pauses, and the unseen connections that manifest in the 'space between.'

The focus on texture becomes a tactile exploration, inviting the audience to feel the tension, vulnerability, and strength expressed through the performers' forms. Each photograph is a freeze-frame in a narrative that transcends conventional boundaries, encouraging contemplation on the essence of human connection.

As a documentarian of this ethereal performance, I aim to reveal the intimate relationship between the two figures. This ‘space between’ becomes a visual poetry that speaks to the shared experiences of separation, connection, and the profound beauty of the human body in motion.
