Trust Without Words
Russia, 2025
This series of photographs is about trust that arises where words fail. A horse and a human being are two breaths, two bodies, two rhythms that at some point coincide and become one. Their touches, glances, and pauses are manifestations of a single soul divided into different forms.
The project presents trust as a universal value capable of uniting generations and forming a cultural code based on respect, soft power, and conscious interaction with living things. The theme of trust here serves as a metaphor for broader social processes: communication between people, intergenerational dialogue, preservation of cultural traditions, and restoration of connection with nature. It reveals universal values that are important for strengthening Russia’s cultural code, touches on the theme of the relationship between humans and nature and the animal world, which is key to our heritage, and forms a new humanistic visual language that is relevant to contemporary culture.
