After the full-scale invasion began, my identity crisis became apparent again. I watched as a part of me disappeared and something new took its place, but this new remained blurred and unclear. Photography became a way for me to record these changes, although later I realized that it not only documents this process, but also becomes a part of my perception of myself.
When I looked through the footage, I often asked myself: Is this the real me, or am I trying to be myself? I did not find the answer. Each photo is a moment of search, an attempt to understand who I am and who I can become. Sometimes I avoided facing these questions, put them off instead of accepting the changes.
Photography not only records changes, but also actively creates them. It forms new identities and new perspectives, sometimes only reinforcing uncertainty. This process turns out to be interdependent: my changes affect the images, and the photographs, in turn, affect my vision of these changes.
This project is about process: about uncertainty, constant change, and finding oneself in an environment where questions are more important than answers.
