I don’t know if I would say that I chose photography, I would probably say that photography chose me. As a little girl I played with plastic cameras in which I stared at the succession of photos that resembled postcards; I later salvaged my father’s old camera that I still have. Taking pictures was a natural choice.

I, like many others, chose it when I was little. My parents provided pens and pencils with which we could express ourselves, tell stories and sketch our fears or moments of joy. Drawing has always been, much more than an extension of spoken language, a natural desire like any other.

I am from a post-Soviet country and this definitely has an impact on my works. However, I think that I try to combine current views on life (freedom, individualism) with those I was raised with.
