PRESENCE: COCOONING AND EXPANSION
PIECE BY PIECE
There are moments when words come not from the mind, but from somewhere deeper. This video is one of those moments.
My dear friend, Ekaterina Timoshinina, wrote a poem that echoed something I couldn’t yet name—but I felt it. She reads it here in her own voice, soft and steady, like waves touching the shore. The images in this video are fragments of a journey—not just mine, but something shared. A moment between past and future, a breath held in the present. Through the quiet presence of nature, light, shadow, and movement, I tried to listen to what life was telling me—piece by piece. This work is part of my Piece by Piece series, but it stands gently on its own as well—a meditation on inner truth, connection, and the spaces we create to hear ourselves again.
THE HEALING POWER OF BEING SEEN
In this project, I explore how photography can be a mirror for the soul. I often choose 'imperfect' compositions or focus on small details—a collarbone, a shadow, a breath. This is where the true self hides, away from social expectations.
My role is to create a sanctuary where a woman can finally put down her guard. Whether wrapped in a blanket or standing amidst the wild landscape, she is not posing; she is returning to herself.
JOIN THE JOURNEY
This exploration is ongoing. I invite you to experience this transformation yourself through two dedicated paths:
Cocooning (Wrap Yourself) — To wrap yourself in safety; a quiet return to the inner sanctuary.
Expansion (In Harmony with Nature) — A dialogue with nature, embracing freedom and wild strength.
PRESENCE: THE EXHIBITION & BEYOND
This project is a living, breathing exploration of the feminine soul. A curated selection of these works is currently being premiered at the Artist Open Houses, bringing the textures of the 'cocoon' and the 'expansion' into a physical space.
While these intimate exhibition days offer a unique chance to share this space together, the journey of Presence continues to grow. My vision for this work extends into future gallery showcases and a dedicated art photobook.
If you feel a connection to these stories or would like to be notified about upcoming exhibition dates and the book release, I would love to hear from you.
