A visual meditation on presence, ritual, and the silent dialogue between body and nature. Born on the rocky shores of Lake Ladoga, this series traces movements arising from within — unposed, unspoken, yet deeply lived. It is an observation of a state where the boundary between self and world dissolves. The body ceases to be a pose and becomes a place where the world resides. Here, there is no need to play a role in order to be.
