Olha Lobazova
Born in 1992 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Olha started her photography career path in the late 2022 after joining Mykolaiv Young Photography School as a student.
In 2023 became shortlisted for Blurring the Lines international contest and participated in several exhibitions in Ukraine and Germany.

My artistic philosophy revolves around employing visual language as a conduit to explore subconscious realms. Being a young mom in immigration maternity and a sense of self belonging play a key role in my artistic practice. But while reflecting on these topics I also reflect on photography itself, the place and the role of the image in the modern world. Working with analog photography, digital photo and digital transformations, screen shoots, archives I would like to research a human perception of the image as a memory, history or allusion.
