“Art lives in what remains.”

I am a Ukrainian photographer currently based in Vienna, working with conceptual, portrait, and nature photography. My practice explores themes of memory, time, corporeality, and the fragile relationship between the human body and the natural world. Through minimalistic compositions, subtle color palettes, and tactile visual language, I create images that reflect inner states rather than external narratives. Water, organic materials, light, and the female body often appear in my work as metaphors for transformation, vulnerability, and resilience. My artistic approach is deeply influenced by contemporary conceptual photography and poetic visual storytelling. I am interested in slow observation, traces of time, and moments that exist on the edge between presence and disappearance. Photography for me is not documentation, but a space for quiet reflection and emotional resonance.
