    Honorable Mention in Fine Art / Collage

When you face death in your family, albums full of photographs of grandparents can tell us a pretty big story. Unfortunately, so many documents and pictures can be lost, or ancient portraits can even never exist. Today, in the era of digital technologies we have a chance to start creating our own genealogy. The series Primogenitors is a research of a family portrait in a different, artistic way. These three pictures are the beginning of the author's ongoing research which started in 2022 and is still in progress.

Kate was born in 1989 in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2012 graduated from Université d'Auvergne Clermont-Ferrand I, in France, with master's degree in Management. In 2021 obtained a Ph.D. in international economic relations at Kyiv National University of Trade and Economy. Photography has been her hobby since 2010 when she bought her first digital reflex camera. During 2021-2022 she studied at the Kyiv School of Photography. Since 2022 photography has been her main occupation.
