Elizaveta Kalinina - Silhouette self portrait

Self-portrait

This series of self-portraits is a visual reflection on the transformation of women. Between joy and sadness, between bodies (before and after), between desires and reality, I find myself in a space where I seem to disappear.
I photograph myself through glass, behind objects, among toys and shadows—as if checking to see if I'm still somewhere inside.
Born in Russia, I live in Italy—between cultures, languages, and roles.
This is neither a protest nor a manifesto—rather, an attempt to capture the invisible: transience, the elusive self, feminine time, which passes especially quickly.
