This summer, in the middle of NYC heat wave, 9 photographers from around the globe showcased their work at the SVA Flatiron Gallery in Chelsea.
My project “Still life with single girl” is a series of studied self-portraits kept in painterly aesthetic of Dutch masters. It’s a visual tale about the moments of singlehood and how sometimes, the simplest life actions are the most challenging, depending on our state of mind. In the era of an instantaneous selfie, this series of elaborated slow portraiture advocates for balance and being choiceful. What we do and how we live is also entirely up to our individual selves and it is a choice to which extent we want to engage into society, social pressure or progress.
