Conceptual nominee

Imagine for a moment that you are ordering in a restaurant your favorite seafood dish and they bring you this...

Marine debris is one of the dangerous killers of ocean ingabitants. But for most people it seems like something abstract, disconnected from our daily lives. We use gifts of nature and in return we leave behind piles of trash which end up in the ocean. The ocean that feeds us.

With my series "Menu for Tomorrow" i want to remind you that environmental issues affect everyone - me, you... They are much closer than we think. Each of us is responsible for our negligence towards nature: today we litter the Earth with waste but tomorrow it will return it to us.

What then will be our menu for tomorrow?
We tend to imagine our future in a kindly light, but will it really be so...

Maryna Masel is a young photoartist practicing in Kyiv, Ukraine. She mostly works in the genre of still life, trying to convey some kind of story, thought or feeling through a shoot.
Photography for Maryna is a way to express her vision of the world through visual images. Her art-works contain real objects with their actual physical properties, as well as various illusions that violate the physics laws. In this way she tells the viewer: "The world around us is not limited only to the framework of perception in usual context. It is much more extensive and can take on completely different forms and interpretations. Just let your imagination to see familiar things in a new way."
