Pitfalls

The Project is a discussion about co- dependable relationships. Exposure is up to 10 sec. Illumination is by alternating strobe or continuous color light, depending on the task Bright colors and blurred figure shapes reflect toxic relationships. Personality deprivation. The printed pictures were hold under water to shoot. The shapes on the picture deformed by water reflect transformation of love into sufferings.

   “I can’t live without him! He makes me crazy! I can’t think about anything but him /her!” — these are you dream relationships, right?


Sometimes it takes years and years, or the whole life to look for “your dreams hero”.
Did you realize that most of passionate and vibrant relationships come to an end in a sad way?
The pain here originates in the very nature of relationships.

The feelings considered as “hot love” represent only co-dependable communications, where the partners’ similar childhood traumas draw them together.

For the Photo project development, the printed pictures were sunk like heavy stones.

Through the thickness of water, partners’ couple deformation becomes visible, as they are feeing low, falling into emotional pit, frustrated from unresolved problems pressure.

Bright colors emphasize everything painful and toxic.


Half-transparency dissolve partners in each other and blur their personalities’ limits.

The Author suggests to think about whether love without passion and “fighting for love” are possible, whether it could be based only on respect, adoption and self -sufficiency.311:04
