According to legends, red poppies bloom at the places of fierce battles, where the blood of warriors was spilled. My photo project is dedicated to unbreakable Ukrainian soldiers. On the battlefields in Ukraine, poppies turned black from fire and ash. Their tender petals were cruelly scorched by the fire of war, but I believe they did not perish. Instead, they have changed their structure and form and continue to exist. Each black flower inspires us with its shape and reminds us of the firmness and steadfastness of Ukrainian heroes.
My art is about finding the interesting in the simple and creating magic out of the ordinary. In my work I love to use everyday objects, food, and flowers, inventing some unusual combinations and rethinking the meanings. With the help of bright colors and shades in my artworks, I try to transmit the viewers good mood, joy, inspiration, and desire to make their own visual discoveries.
