In my activities, I am interested in using photography as a medium in creating graphic images. A photo is an excuse, I modify the image to reflect my own feelings about the given photo.

I try to add my own narrative by adding graphic traces, using various compositional procedures, and cropping photographs, which creates a kind of collage. In my works, I use etching, aquatint, collagraphy, photopolymer techniques. I also experiment with anastatic reprinting.

I take up the subject of transience, memory, and human memories as well as family and social ties.

self-commentary

I remember each woman in my family in a different way. I heard about many of them only from stories. I wanted to capture their stories based on my own memories, thoughts, and ideas. Each of these characters important to me has its own "attribute" with which they are or were associated in their lives. They are to reflect their occupation or passions. The symbolism of objects I used was to emphasize the fact that all people are connected with the material world in which they leave a part of themselves. Sometimes the human-object relationship is so strong that we connect loved ones with things, and after their departure, they become their "symbols".

The second part of my work took the form of a collection of photographic portraits. The portraits were marked with handwritten notes from documents and letters regarding these people. The further we delve into the content of the miniature, we see that with the following pages the portraits increasingly fade under the maze of increasingly less readable letters. Just like our memory of people, it gets weaker and weaker and weaker.
