I am a Ukrainian photographer. My practice consists of conventional and non-conventional approaches to documentary, focusing on the representation of memories, connections to places, and personal histories. I graduated with distinction from the MA in photojournalism and documentary photography at the University of the Arts London. I have been selected as one of 10 nominees for Aesthetica's the Next Generation Award (2021), shortlisted for Bartur Photo Award (2021), a finalist of Friend-Ship Photography Award (2019) and a finalist of This-Ability Photography Award (2018). My photography is influenced by the way I have come to respond to the memories of my experience of traumatic events in my early life. Some of the themes recurring in my work are memory, loss, family, longing, fantasy, and our connection to nature. Driving my practice is an underlying need to share stories and emotions, to reach out and realise we are not alone.
