Refuse to be a daisy, and start
being the Sun




We are constantly reevaluating and reshaping ourselves.
Sometimes, finding our true selves requires a shift in perspective, moving to a new plane of perception, and breaking free from imposed standards and labels. How do we break free from narrow self-conceptions and begin to shine our light, becoming a source of strength and inspiration for ourselves and others?
In this project, I embark on a journey of self-exploration, self-discovery, and liberation from limitations, to descover who I am truly meant to be.

Photography was taken in mid July 2022, Moscow Region
