EMPTINESS
A photobook about the silence of the disappearing Ukrainian village.
This project emerged from long journeys through rural places, villages where life has slowed to the rhythm of light, seasons, empty roads, and unwritten stories. I photographed intuitively, letting the space and stillness shape each frame.
The book is entirely handmade from printing to binding. Japanese stitching, Kozo paper, pigment printing every detail is meant to hold a sense of quiet and fragility.

INNER NOVEMBER
A photobook about inner states, quiet observation and time captured in images.
This project was created over four years, photographed in October. I photographed intuitively, allowing myself to feel the state and emotions.
The book exists as an art object. The material is not a container, but a participant. Japanese paper, with its fragility and texture, emphasizes the simplicity of the images. The image and the material work together, strengthening the sense of interaction.
