I am ready for a long road flight for work with a week- or months-long projects.
Elusive beauty

In the project "Stealing Beauty," I reflect on the transience of time and the fragility of feminine attractiveness.
We strive to preserve youth and beauty, clinging to their illusory eternity. For, as S. T. Aksakov says in "The Scarlet Flower," "Bring me a mirror of oriental crystal, so that in it I may see all the beauty under the sky and, gazing into it, remain young, so that my maiden beauty will not fade but rather grow."
This hope is almost a fairy tale, one that everyone tries to cling to. But beauty, like water, slips through our fingers. Its lightness, brightness, and perfection are elusive, like a reflection on the surface of a river.
I like to display the objects in this project on a mirror, creating an additional sense of airiness and weightlessness.
The pattern of their arrangement resembles the flow of the river of life, where birth, blossoming, and inevitable decline are intertwined.
In this flow we see not only the struggle for eternity, but also the acceptance of the inevitability of change.

We don’t want to age, we don’t want to lose our beauty, the vibrancy of youth.
"Bring me a mirror of Eastern crystal, whole and flawless, so that, looking into it, I may see all the beauty under the sky, and so that, looking into it, I will not age, but rather my maiden beauty will increase."
This is the Hope for eternal youth.
In my project, I discuss the transience and fragility of female attractiveness. This is the river of time, where life is born and its inevitable decline.
