AUTHOR
I'm 20 years old. In 2016 I graduated from The Diego Maradona's School of Photographie. Since 2016 i work as a journalist and press photographer. In 2017 I started working for an NGO Youth organisation STAN. It was the time when I found a topic that I like the most. It is Culture diversity and Human rights. Today I want my photos to start a discussion about problems of ethnical and national minorities in Ukraine. I was working as a press photographer for a long time.That's why I began my first art project so late, in june 2018. The project is called The Crimean Woman. It's about the destiny of crimean tatars. This nation was deportated from its Motherland two times and two times people came back. However, in 2014 a lot of them had to leave their homes againe because of annexation of Crimea by Russia. The Cimean Wonan, who is far from her home, she is the symbol of long history, power,suffering and honor of crimean tatars.
