Immigration

This collaboration means a lot to me.

I see Anastasiia telling her story in a women’s magazine. Honestly, quietly, without exaggeration. Speaking about art, immigration, fear, growth, and the inner strength it takes to start over in a new country. And I clearly see my photographs there too, not as decoration, but as part of that story.

Anastasiia is a deeply thoughtful artist. Her works are powerful, emotional, and layered, even though at first glance she may seem very fragile. There is so much strength, honesty, and inner work behind what she creates. She is someone whose story deserves to be told and heard.

That is why I felt the need to create this photoshoot. Not just portraits, but a visual story. A story about transformation. About what a person goes through in immigration. About losing balance, searching, struggling, and slowly finding new ways to grow and move forward in a new country.

Watching Anastasiia’s journey inspires me deeply. The way she continues to grow, create, and evolve in a new environment reminds me why art matters so much. As a photographer and artist myself, I see parts of my own path reflected in hers. Her courage gives me courage too.

I believe this session is the beginning of something new in my creative work. A step toward deeper stories, more honest projects, and work that touches people and opens hearts.

Thank you, Anastasiia, for your trust and openness. I am very grateful for this collaboration, and I truly believe it is only the beginning.
