I found out that I was pregnant in early April, at the time when the first pandemic restrictions in Russia were imposed. The most difficult period in a woman's life, associated with cardinal inside changes, coincided for me with the global changes in the world. Embarrassment and confusion from the upcoming motherhood were intensified by the uncertainty about the future due to the situation around the virus. In order to comprehend and accept each stage of my pregnancy I began to shoot them. Against the background of rapid changes in the world, deepening into my own metamorphoses had a therapeutic effect and helped to look at everything that was happening as if from the outside. The question “what's next?”, mostly frightened me at the beginning of the year, now sounds to me not as a sentence, but more like a challenge. Together with the whole world in 2020 I experienced a real rebirth in its every sense.
