One fact inspired me to create this project. During the COVID pandemic I noticed that people in big cities began to buy food in bulk due to the fact that they did not want to go out to crowded places too often. The food they bought was not always eaten. It became spoiled and was thrown out. A couple of times it occurred also in our family. Therefore, I decided to capture this food. At the time I admired the artwork of Impressionists and Abstractionists. For instance, Vincent Van Gogh, Felix Vallotton and Piet Mondrian are those who left a mark on my work.

I have always been a dreamer. Since my childhood, I have been full of ideas. Literally, photography helps me clear my head. Once an image on a story comes to my mind, it will be transformed into the picture. This way I become free. I was born in 1988 in a small Ukrainian town. In 2010, I graduated from the Kyiv Pedagogical University and began to work on television as a videographer. After 10 years of the successful career, I decided to take up photography. Currently, in Prague, Czech Republic
