ABOUT

I am a photographer working at the intersection of conceptual and documentary photography. I was born in Donetsk, Ukraine. In 2014, I moved to Kharkiv, and since 2022 I have been living and working in Lviv. I primarily use instant photography as a tool for memory, intimacy, and interruption. My practice focuses on themes of forced migration, self-identification, and the fragile interplay between time and space. These subjects are deeply personal yet universal they speak to experiences of belonging, the loss of home, and the ongoing attempt to reassemble oneself within a fragmented landscape. Photography, for me, becomes both a testimony and an artifact, made in the moment, yet always marked by impermanence. My images do not seek resolution; they are quiet traces of presence, of existing within uncertainty, and of reclaiming space through the act of looking.
