Photography as a witness to reality

Olga Vynnyk is a Ukrainian fine-art photographer exploring displacement, belonging, memory and transformation through the human body and the natural world.

I began photographing because I needed the image to remain a witness to reality — to what happened, what was lost, and what continues to live within us.

SOCIALLY ENGAGED PRACTICE
