    Honorable Mention in Fine Art / Still Life

Snowdrops have many meanings, but two are the most common worldwide. On one hand, they represent remembrance of the deceased, respect, and compassion. On the other, they symbolize hope and the anticipation of spring's awakening, as well as innocence and purity. The living always has a harder time than those who have left this world. But I hope that amidst the endless sorrow of our tragedy-filled lives, people's hearts will still hold onto hope and faith in a bright future.

Oleksandra Mykhailutsa is a product and conceptual still-life photographer from Odesa, known for her imaginative compositions featuring everyday objects. While studying to be a family doctor, she pursued photography, with a focus on still life and macro work. After gaining experience in commercial photography, she found fulfillment in conceptual still-life, often using sweets and levitation in her creative scenes. Her work has earned her accolades on platforms like Talenthouse. Oleksandra now balances personal projects, education, and family life in Odesa.
