Anastasia by Pavlo Protsenko

This intimate photo series delves into the mind of an artist navigating the tumultuous waters of creative crisis. Set within the raw and unfiltered confines of her personal studio, the series captures her journey of vulnerability, self-reflection, and discovery.
The protagonist, a painter, moves through her space in her natural state, free from the constraints of clothing but weighed down by the invisible pressures of artistic stagnation. Her nude form becomes a metaphor for the stripped-down, unadulterated essence of creativity—fragile, exposed, yet profoundly powerful.
The series invites viewers to witness not just the struggle but the beauty of the process: the raw search for meaning, the vulnerability of expression, and the eventual reawakening of inspiration.
