I was born and raised in Novosibirsk, a city in Siberia, Russia.

I started photographing back in school — my friends, my family, everyone around me.

I grew up attending a creative studio where we explored many forms of art and making things by hand.
That experience stayed with me — I still enjoy sewing, drawing, cooking, and creating things myself.

Every year, my family traveled to the village Sheregesh to visit my grandparents.

Those moments shaped my love for nature and taught me to see beauty in things exactly as they are.
