Mariia Gorskaya
Bio
Photographer and collage artist since 2017. Practice focuses on portrait, fashion, and documentary photography.
In my practice, I use photography to explore shifts in the perception of reality. For me, photography functions not only as a tool of documentation, but also of distortion.
I focus on recognizable scenes in which a dissonance emerges — a gap between visible form and felt experience. I intervene in reality through various artistic methods, working both at the stage of shooting and in post-production, including physical manipulation of prints through collage, textures, light fragments, puncturing, and stitching.
