Julia Bezhanova, photographer, collage maker and creator of surrealistic still lifes. Reflecting on the themes of motherhood and bodily fatigue, Julia created a series of works of self-portraits called “disintegration”. For this surrealistic story, Julia created soft sculptures and collages from photographs of self-portraits. The visual inspiration for the project was the work of Hieronymus Bosch.
Besides the fact that Julia is a promising photographer-collage artist, she is also the mother of two children. So personal experiences about fatigue formed the basis of this project. In her work, Julia likes to raise the theme of the idealization of the human body. According to statistics, about 90% of women are subject to "emotional burnout" after childbirth. One reason for this, as Julia believes, is the illusory perception of motherhood. In her opinion, it is very important to talk about the problems that a woman can face - fear, insecurity, rejection of her body, fatigue, problems with breastfeeding, etc. Julia believes that by raising these topics and broadcasting them in society, you can prepare women for more conscious motherhood, which, in turn, will allow them to get more pleasure from it.
