The photos were taken with a homemade pinhole camera: I used a coffee can and light-sensitive photo paper. After developing the photo paper, the resulting negative images were scanned, inverted, printed. And then the printed photos were hand-colored. A series of self-portraits. Each image reflects a part of me. Femininity. Sea lover. Racer. Dressed in a national shirt - a tribute to my roots. And just a 40-year-old woman in the backyard of her house. These are different parts of myself. All images are united by painted of flowers. My nature.
