We all live in a box.
Carry it around, wondering how to make our box differ from another's.
The borders drawn in the sand by someone else are our prison.
The ocean will wash it away or the wind will wipe off the marking but we will keep standing where we are, limited but what we can't even see anymore, but are just used to.
We have our mind handed to us in a square device. Distracted by the blue sky it's showing we miss the storm that's coming our way.
Walking around, we are mere reflections of others opinions and beliefs. Who will you be if i say you can be anyone?
We are trying to connect, reaching out from one box to another.
But how can we, when we are trapped inside the box? Not seeing each other, not showing ourselves.
How can we?
When we are taught this way. Brought up this way.
We are raised in a system which standardises learning, even though each child is different. A system that tells us there is only one way to look at things, only the set process or chaos.
Our creativity is killed before we even know it is there. Our creativity is being told it's wrong or different.
Boxes have become the only thing we know. Boxes have become what we teach the new generations. Generations after generations. New packaging, same boxes.
She started her photography career in 2009 and since than has been working as an independent photographer in Russia and India.
Viktoriia's distinctive vision of photography is etched as a journey of self-discovery and unity with nature, while her unconditional and insightful images exist in that space between sanity and insanity, conscious and unconscious, between dreaming and awakening.
All work of Viktoriia is inspired by her free spirit and attention to details. Her pictures are her personal meditation, way to connect with the world inside her and outside.
