Patchwork

  • Photographer
    Olena Tarnovska

Cracks on the walls, pigment scorched by the sun and washed out by rain, like wrinkles and spots on the skin - a unique pattern with the imprint of time.

I was born and raised in Ukraine. I received higher education in jurisprudence. I also studied and lived in Germany. I have always loved traveling and learning foreign languages. In 2021, I resumed my old hobby - photography, and began studying at the Kyiv School of Photography. Since then, photography has become an important part of my life. It was on photography that I was able to rely morally six months after the start of the war in Ukraine in 2022. Now I reside in Italy. Photography continues to help me balance in the new world, the new life in which we are now.
