It is back (2024) Fotoğraf Liliia Kucher tarafından

The print is part of my ongoing work Body.Mind.Land where I explore connections between the body, the mind and the environment. The main inspiration comes from overcoming major depressive disorder. It's a time when I profoundly felt the interrelationship between my physical and mental well-being, and the impact of the environment on my health. The work consists of three parts: Body, Mind, and Land. These parts are interconnected, and explain each respective concept in relation to the experience of recovery from depression.

LAND

Being connected to nature has been meaningful to me since I was a child. I grew up in a rural area surrounded by wild grasses, crops and woods. When I started feeling daunted by depression, retreats into nature added a new purpose: self-replenishment. No matter how terrible I was feeling, after a walk in a park or by the seashore, I felt restored and the spark of feeling alive was reignited. Often I was taking a camera with me, and I was photographing whatever caught my attention on the way. I kept doing this exercise during and post-depression. In this way, pictures of nature refer to these therapeutic walks and represent different moods and states of mind I experienced at the time of photographing them.
