We are all creatures born in nature and are a part of it. With other words - we are animals. We have instincts. On one hand biochemical reactions and processes in our bodies influence our emotions and behavior.

On the other hand, we are born into society with its norms, traditions, and laws. we are trained.

Both of these aspects live within me as well. They often oppose each other. My wild side resists and rebels, while my trained side fears and tries to get rid of it.

The fear of our animal, untamed part is not something I see only in myself. I see it in every manifestation of our human activity. We have paved the earth with asphalt, barricaded ourselves with concrete and plastic. We fight against nature, both external and internal.

The consequences of this struggle frighten me. Therefore, I try to answer the question for myself: is there any possibility to choose another path , a path of harmonious coexistence?

Im trying to find it through my own experience, fictional characters, and mythology.

My projects are related to the duality of our world through personal perception. Often, I work with mediums such as photography and painting. It is also important for me that in my projects, I work with self-portraiture, turning the process into documenting imagined rituals and events.
