The Inner Home
“The Inner Home” is the space of a person’s inner world, from which their identity is formed. It is a space of personal stability: memory, values, experience, places, and relationships — everything that remains an essential part of one’s perception of the world.
The sequence of photographs creates a narrative of a person’s inner processes connected to their past and their inner child. These images do not answer the question of “what is depicted.” Instead, they ask: where am I within myself? What is this space for me? What does it carry?

The project explores symbols — the past, the family home, nature, loved ones who are no longer here — which become carriers of an inner state. The visual language of the project is based on black-and-white photography and partial use of double exposure. This approach enhances the sense of memory, time, and inner space, where real events and their emotional traces exist simultaneously.
The structure of the series unfolds as a sequence of states and transitions. Water opens the project as a universal image of time and reflection. It is followed by a dreamlike space where fragments of a peaceful past and childhood emerge. Physicality introduces a layer of direct experience — sensations and emotions after awakening. Natural motifs form an image of warmth, memory, and a former light.
The central part of the series is dedicated to the inner child, returning to some of the most meaningful periods of life. Then appears the image of a lake with a cup — a metaphor for the perception of something that was once large but, through growing up, has changed in scale while preserving its inner fullness. The image of flour represents transition, fixation, and reflection on the path traveled. The bridge becomes a connecting element between states, uniting fragmented layers of experience into a single structure.
The final frames capture a moment of reflection: the protagonist, turned toward a window, observes the changing world as a continuous movement of form and meaning. The concluding frame creates a direct interaction with the viewer, shifting the project from narrative into a state of presence — “here and now.”
