'Let Us Not Fall Asleep While Walking' depicts the psychological state of this Ukraine looking at its future while haunted by its past and memory. The images are metaphorical representations from the everyday life encountered where time seems frozen but dreams of hope still linger. The series contains 142 images referring to the victims of the Euromaidan revolution in 2014.

About author:

With a background in engineering my photographical interest started in 2014 by seeing Jacob Riis’s ‘How the Other Half Lives’. Fascinated by the excessive presence of light, the striking compositions and dominating shadows encapsulating daily life in combination with the strategic approach and use of the medium to explore social injustice, challenged me to translate his methods towards contemporary subject matter.

'Let Us Not Fall Asleep While Walking' is my first project where I translated the psychological state of Ukraine in collision between past, present and the hope for a future without war.
I see my work as a collection of short impulses build upon research to subject matter. The main goal is to produce durable work that extends time and where collisions with past and future as autonomous realities are implied to question our human motivations.

At the moment I am working on a new project exploring the construction of the empire in relation to its ethnical identity throughout the US history.
