Samarkand stories (inspired by the piece of Natalya Chepulskaya)

The work is created using cyanotype — a historical 19th-century photographic process in which the image emerges on paper in deep shades of blue. In this piece, I combined analog film photography, drawing, and collage to transform personal imagery into a unified visual narrative. Each print exists as a single, unique copy — it arises from the interaction of sunlight, paper, and chemistry, and therefore can never be exactly recreated.

I have tried to convey the color as accurately as possible, but it may vary slightly depending on the monitor you are using.
