Türk Ailesi 2020

This photo contrasts the strict geometry of the shadows and the atmosphere of warmth and home comfort, which complement each other and make this photo harmonic.

Childhood during the pandemic 2020

Doesn't matter how bright the girl's outfit is, in the conditions of our current reality, priorities shift and appearance fades into the background if you're alone.

Evelina Kniazeva

Ukraine

Hey, I'm Evelina. I was born in a city in the East of Ukraine, Donetsk. In 2014 my city was occupied and my family moved to the center of Ukraine and after a few years I went to university, to studying computer science. I was always interested in volunteering which is why I've been doing some help in a few organizations. In 2020 I went to a project from ESC in Gaziantep. It's a city in the south of Turkey, bordering Syria. The city had many refugees and our project was to focus on their wellbeing. We were also tasked with taking care of the environment which is much needed due to the situation of global warming and ecology nowadays I'm really interested in various important topics such as gender equality and lgbtq+ rights because in my country the situation regarding these topics is quite dire; I was involved in some projects about these topics as well. My hobbies and skills include traveling, drawing portraits, taking photos and editing videos.
I want to make the world a better place!
