I wanted to express my inner feelings through visual images. Since we are all connected, have the ability to empathize, other people can also experience similar states. Shooting this project was a kind of non-verbal communication between me and the heroes of my works. I tried to read the person opposite and express it in a certain visual image according to my own feelings. In my project "States" I consider the body as a reflection of our subconscious, emotions and experiences, a carrier of energy and memory. Studying body therapy, I saw how a person's subconscious manifests itself through the body. Often this is a traumatic experience that a person has suppressed and does not want to notice. But not only. The body also contains a source of pleasure, security, ease, internal support. All our manifestations pass through the body or remain in it in the form of spasms, pain, when we refuse to freely express emotions. According to the principle of metaphorical cards, each viewer has the opportunity to freely interpret the works, highlighting for themselves those aspects that are important to them at the moment in order to better understand themselves and others. By analyzing the images, the observer can become aware of their inner emotional landscape. This is a kind of art therapy, a platform for reflection and self knowledge through art.
