Beyond| "Beyond" is a photographic project about the deepest corners of rural life. It explores various aspects of the countryside: from ancient houses preserving their history and soul, to portraits of residents who daily work in the fields and practice traditional crafts. Each frame reveals the uniqueness and distinctiveness of the village, its culture, and community. The discussion includes ethical, cultural, and ecological aspects of our coexistence with nature. "Beyond" is a place where time slows down, where nature preserves its wisdom, and people continue to live in harmony with their environment. Allow yourself to discover new perspectives on rural life and immerse yourself in its unique world. It is a true journey into a culture where every event, every object has its own history. "Beyond" points to what lies beyond what we usually see or understand in a village. Its goal is to uncover and analyze the emotions, thoughts, and internal states that may be hidden or not immediately apparent. Rural life is quite closed and stigmatized. Revealing the essence and showing another side, the depth of images is my task. "Beyond" indicates a search for identity and self-definition among village residents. It examines how the village influences personality development and relationships between people, as well as how residents perceive themselves and their surroundings. It serves as a means to explore the cultural and social aspects of village life that usually go unnoticed. Traditions, rituals, ways of life, and community values that form in the shadow of the widely recognized aspects of life. www.instagram.com/naumovych
