KALEIDOSCOPE

This project is dedicated to my little girl, who has a congenital syndrome with a very long name and shows delays in mental development. I am inspired by her "simple" thinking; sometimes it seems to me that I am talking to a sage who shares simple truths, while I am overcomplicating everything, just like all adults do. She is the little person who reminds me daily that everything genius is simple and should be do.

On New Year's 2022, Santa Claus gifted her a children's camera. Here, I've gathered the photos she has taken over the past three years. At first, I thought she was shooting mindlessly, just pressing the button while running by, but gradually, while reviewing the material she shot and observing how she carefully selects settings on the camera and arranges her toys, I realized that it was not so. In her photographs, I also noticed recurring themes — all the things she is interested in: selfies, portraits of her favorite toys, spreads of her favorite books, the home, textures, and of course, close people. Her photographs allowed me to see the space of our home and myself through the eyes of a child.This resulted in a family album like this.
The children's camera has built-in filters, masks, frames, and effects for multiplying images, and it is also possible to combine two different effects. All the shots were initially taken in their presented form without any changes or post-processing in Photoshop.
