On the inside (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Our world has become small, the paths - empty and desires are no longer so risky as they used to be.
There are some painted arrows on the floor, they lead to the bathroom - don't forget to wash your hands. Here, where all the jackets hang and our shoes are, there is a line as well - no playground. A piece of paper is stuck on the fridge: 7 p.m. Facetime with Grandpa. We don't meet, but we hear each other every day. All red buttons are pressed - an app soothes: "Let the sounds come and go, and while you are sitting there, notice how the body feels ...".
"Hello good morning, today will be a wonderful day!" - suddenly the voice from the children's room interrupts.
At that moment I had a clear understanding of how much we adults need to protect our children from ourselves ... from us who are fearful, insecure and moody.

AUTHOR
I grew up in St.Petersburg, Russia. After studying documentary photography, I moved to Germany (Erfurt),
where i have been working on different photo projects since 2012. In 2019, I was allowed to be a student of MAGNUM photographer Gueorgui Pinkhassov in Paris - the experience that has given me one of the most important impulses in my photography so far.
