Born in Ukraine in the mid-1990s and raised in Spain from early childhood, my work often begins from a place long familiar to me: movement—not just across borders, but across languages, systems of meaning, ways of remembering, and uncertain definitions of “home". My practice operates at the intersection of photography, writing, and visual research, using both image and text as parallel modes of inquiry into the shifting relationships between memory, identity, and belonging. I work through sustained, research-driven processes that incorporate fieldwork, embodied methodologies, and long-term observation. I position myself not just as photographer and writer, but as participant, subject, and mediator. I use text and image as relational, partly performative tools—not as mere documentation, but as gestures of proximity. They invite attention, presence, and being-with, while also questioning authorship, framing, and distance. Working from the “I” allows me to speak to “You.” I see the telling of one’s story as never entirely autonomous, but always formed in relation. I often work cyclically, through stories that resist linear structure and unfold episodically, mirroring the recursive nature of memory and storytelling itself. Repetition becomes both form and method: words, sentences, symbols, and images reappear—not only as stylistic echoes, but to test how meaning shifts through return. Ultimately, my work argues that in this process of relational telling and retelling, the autobiographical act itself becomes a way of belonging.
