Snowdrops have many meanings, but two are the most common worldwide. On one hand, they represent remembrance of the deceased, respect, and compassion. On the other, they symbolize hope and the anticipation of spring's awakening, as well as innocence and purity. The living always has a harder time than those who have left this world. But I hope that amidst the endless sorrow of our tragedy-filled lives, people's hearts will still hold onto hope and faith in a bright future.

Oleksandra Mykhailutsa, a still-life photographer from Odesa, Ukraine, is renowned for her creative compositions capturing everyday objects' beauty. Her interest in photography blossomed in her youth, exploring nature's magnificence. Using flowers and food, she crafts captivating scenes.
