Conceptual nominee

This work expresses my feelings about huge wildfires happened in Siberia this summer and environmental situation with deforestation overall. Wildfires were ignored by government almost for one month. We lost millions of hectares of forest.
Creating minimalistic forms and using white color that reminds me of medical clinic spaces, I also wanted to rethink and transform the pain I had. At the same time I was watching the old birch grove being cut over to put up another building right in front of my house. Human beings dressed up to the nines and playing balls show insensibility and ignorance.

Self taught photographer from Saint-Petersburg. Artist and dancer in the past. I like to explore world around me through different visual forms. I started photography as a hobby when I was seven. For a long time I was fond of documentary photography and I still do. My other field is creating staged photography. Mostly my works are hand made from the scratch. I create set designs and costumes as well.

My works are about subconscious, shadows, symbols. I explore my own feelings about very personal things. Sometimes it's just a glimpse of impression that I get from my subject. I try to visualize it. As a dancer in the past I love expression of body movement and my models are often dancers.
