Much like the vastness of space, the depths of our oceans are largely uncharted. This portfolio offers a reimagined view into this aquatic universe and the unfolding story of life. Within, you'll discover artificial species—testaments to our neglect—crafted from discarded plastic, as well as a fish-dreamer and mollusks evoking the imagery of spaceships.
Alexej was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine. He obtained a diploma in rocket engineering and got photography education in the Kyiv School of Photography. In his artworks Alexej is trying to bring underwater photography to the new level - he investigates the water surface from the deep, uses allegories to show the underwater world like and the world above water or even like a cosmos. Alexej's education and philosophy of life define his style of photography: the photographs depict the beauty of the underwater world and the horrors of man-made ocean pollution.
