Biography:
Native of Ukraine, I have been calling San Francisco a second home since 2007. CCSF Came into play in 2011 when I signed up for my 1st class here-Beginning Photography with Erika Gentry. It’s been a creative roller-coaster ride ever since...
Every day brings new challenges, excitements, and hopes. Every day is another story to that inspires and helps to make a few steps towards our goals and dreams...I have a keen visual awareness, and imagery has become my best friend and an expressive tool. I seek beauty in everyday moments and the small details around us. I constantly explore new and unexpected angles, and believe in the magic behind the image.
My dream is to become a visual designer working towards a more sustainable society and use the power of creative forces to make this world a better home for all...
Modern technologies puts a lot of power in our hands, and while anyone can snap a shot, we all should remember the real beauty lies in discovering the essence and revealing the untold...
CCSF Photography and You:
Ever since my first class at City College in Photography Department in 2011, I have been taking my solid steps towards exciting and rewarding career in Photography and Visual Design. I have been a proud student for 3 years! The resources and diverse community of City College had played a huge and important role not only in my life, but in a life of thousands of Bay Area residents who relays on affordable education of high quality.
Artist’s Statement
Full-time school schedule, part-time job, taking care of my home and family and two cats for the past three semesters left me no choice but to keep a digital diary utilizing The Device of today: Instagram (immediate, accessible, easy, satisfying, addictive, social phenomenon).
#beforenovember is a chronologically organized digital record from my Instagram gallery, including images from January to Octobet of 2013. The tiles are 2”by2” and are the actual size as they appear on my iPhone. The grid is the most appropriate format to host 183 images, all generated in Instagram over the past 10 months. Together they form a timeline build from personal experiences.
Each set features one larger image, it has a special story and carries a significant emotional load. It is both a contextual emphasis and visual pause.
The three sets exclude any personal images and lack a human as the main point of interest.
My intention for the audience is to engage with the subject of the images and imagine the person
behind them...
#beforenovember
is an in-Instagram created photographic poem to 2013, a year that took me to the mountains of Ukraine and Lake Tahoe, streets of Chicago, Kiev, Odessa, New York and Montreal, and the forever inspiring home-grounds
of San Francisco. It’s also a digital insta-portrait build from the images of every-day moments.
