Created between 2024 and 2025 in collaboration with art historian and collector Maria Goncharova, Wunderkammer reinterprets the idea of the cabinet of curiosities through contemporary photography. The series of still lifes, shot on a medium format camera, brings together rare antique objects — fragments of history assembled into new constellations. The work explores the dialogue between time, material, and memory. Each object becomes a silent witness, a relic of the past that transcends its function to reveal the poetry of survival and the beauty of what remains.
