Countdown

Part sanctuary, part prison, the transparent sphere becomes a vessel for absence: of air, of freedom, of the invisible things we only notice once they begin to disappear.

About Artist

Maria Vasileva

I collect quiet emotional traces - the moments that stay beneath the surface, the tension between intimacy and distance, presence and disappearance. I am drawn to atmosphere, human fragility and the invisible emotions carried through light, gesture and space. Through photography, I am drawn to images suspended between memory, reality and emotion - moments that are not only seen, but felt.
