This ongoing project consists of the flower series, in which I explore the nature of my painful and ambiguous feelings. Series appear in the project, as I comprehend life situations. The resolution of internal conflicts becomes possible only through the acceptance of heavy emotions and sublimation in a creative act. Flowers as a symbol of the transience of existence, that is frozen in eternity in the form of photographs, also the subjectivity of color perception, emphasize the unique spiritual path of each person, its fragility and at the same time strength.

Julia Lazumirska (b. 1981, Ukraine) is a lens-based artist from Kyiv, Ukraine. She studied Fine art Photography at Kyiv Photography School. Her practice is focused on non-judgmental observation of own inner world and interpretation this experience through found images in nature, flowers, gestures and body of people. Her works appear at the intersection of reality and emotional sensations in the process of self-determination and self-awareness. The main theme she explores is human existence and «the new spirituality».
