Physical borders of the world undergo a daily change with the morning sound of your alarm-clock, and we have nothing but master new ways of surviving alongside with it. Survive and draw pleasure from every single moment of change, trying to remain ourselves, be tolerant to the variety of opinions, finding our own place not only in the comfortable environment of virtual spaces but also on the macro scale of the city, where we have to function.

The relations between people and the city they live in are just like the relations of a couple. We can live together if we manifest kindness and delicacy, caution and sympathy allowing the city to be reflected in ourselves like in a mirror and at the same time dissolve in its urban environment.

The series "Inner City" deals with the issue of people and the city, about Minsk dwellers and Minsk itself, about the search for harmony in the relations between them, the search for than thin personal border which visually was shown by me in the diptychs. The series includes the combination of the portraits of young Minsk citizens and city sites which every of them considers to be favourite for him/herself.

The series "Inner City" was exhibited as a solo show in 2011 at the gallery "University of Culture" in Minsk (Belarus) and in 2013 at the art-space "Vyhod" in Odessa (Ukraine). Single photographs from the series were shown in the International Festival of Youth Photography in Cheboksary (Russia) in 2011-2012 and in the festival "ART EXPO CIS-2013" in Gyumri, Armenia in 2013.
