A TIME TO PLANT AND A TIME TO DESTROY

(2022)

When I thought about the difference between "masculine" and "feminine" in the context of war, I thought of such opposite concepts as “preservation” and “destruction”, which are stereotypically attached to each of the sexes. Flowers, which women's hands try to preserve and men's hands try to destroy, became the main characters of my photos. Of course, this is a generalization, but one way or another, our world has become black and white, and this clear division is observed in many aspects of life. For me personally, war as a phenomenon has always been incomprehensible and paradoxical. But all this leads to only one goal – life must win.
