After the Fathers (Ongoing)
After the Fathers is an ongoing photographic project that examines masculinity as an inherited model of behaviour.
The work approaches the male figure not as an individual psychological subject, but as a system of gestures, reactions, and learned habits transmitted through family, education, and everyday social environments. It reflects on how traditional expectations of emotional restraint, control, and vulnerability continue to shape male behaviour within contemporary Bulgarian society.
Amen
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.” - John 1:1
Amen is a photographic project born from the sense that faith has become a foreign land in the contemporary world. Inspired by fragments of the Bible, the project longs to restore an emotional connection with the Word, not as religious doctrine, but as inner truth.
Collapse
2011-2023, Bulgaria
Since the fall of communism in 1989, Bulgaria has undergone a difficult economic and social transition. The severe financial crisis of 1996 deepened instability, forcing many people to leave the country in search of work and security. This period reshaped everyday life, widening social inequalities and creating lasting uncertainty for those who remained.
In Profundis
In Profundis is a photographic series I created between 2009 and 2011 in Northern Bulgaria. When I was thirteen, I lost my uncle — a man I deeply admired. We never had the chance to say goodbye. Years later, still struggling with this loss, I began photographing funerals in small Bulgarian villages. Entering these intimate moments was only possible through honesty and empathy. The series reflects on fragility, mourning, and the human need to find meaning in loss.
