Ring Around the Rosie

Ring Around the Rosie is a visual meditation on life, permanence on earth and human's bond with nature.

Ring Around the Rosie began as an intimate photography project, inspired by the birth of my daughter in 2020. This joy came amid a backdrop of global pandemic, armed conflict, economic and environmental crises, and personal loss.

Welcoming a new life into such uncertain times prompted me to adopt a different perspective: one that is conscious of our place in the world, the fragility of existence, and the responsibility that comes with each of our choices. Photography became a way for me to turn outward, with my feet firmly rooted in the earth. It allowed me to place our individual stories in a broader perspective, that of the universe, and to observe both the vulnerability and resilience of nature, its cycles and its continuity.

This work conveys neither fatalism nor disillusioned detachment. Rather, it embodies a humble approach: accepting the possibility of our disappearance while cultivating gratitude and commitment to what we have today—love, connections, and this extraordinary world.
