BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN
The theme of this collection is representing events during one of the most important occasion happened during XX century which is Cold War. “Cold War” is a well-established phrase, denoting a period of tension between the USSR and the USA in the second half of the 20th century, against the backdrop of the nuclear arms race and the promises of Nikita Khrushchev “to bury you” and “show Kuzkin mother”. The period of the Cold War lasted from 1946 to 1989 with varying degrees of frenzy, and completely sunk into oblivion in 1990-1991, with the uni cation of Germany and the collapse of the Soviet Union into small pieces.
But my vision of this situation is not how the two powerful countries were racing to know who is a leader in the world, definitely no. It is about how people were living their lives inside of the regime, not knowing about these tension and still being human. That kind of pure simple life which was full of real life has inspired me a lot. I believe that sometimes even the regime could develop kind of freedom in a way.
This collection is a reflection of my inner self which for a long time has been insecure. I want to clarify to society that even «ugly» things are beautiful by themselves, each one individually by showing of what really is behind the curtains.
