In the photo is my friend. It so happened that he is a military man. He made this choice in 2015 while still in school. As he said, he wanted to find courage because he grew up without a father. Enrolling in university for a semi-military specialty related to programming, he began to realize that everything was not as he imagined. But he didn't want to change his decision because it carries the so-called burden of choice. There was nothing scary until that date when the training ends, and uncertainty is at its peak. He is a person of incredible kindness who loves glitter. He is a person whose inner world I began to doubt in November of last year when I found out where they were sending him. His certainty to say "no" disappeared because behind that word were 10 years. He didn't want to go far away because he believes that the best will come. But all of this was enough for me to ask myself: Did I invent his inner world, or did I not understand everything? In the photo, my thoughts are captured, at the moment of our last meeting, he was looking at a book with photographs by Peter Lindbergh and saying how beautiful it is. And I was taking pictures, asking questions: who are you? Who am I? Who will we be tomorrow? Who will we be if everything works out? And if not? Will we still be human? We will definitely be human. While he remains that same kind guy, dreaming of living in St. Petersburg and occasionally going to see the sea. The guy who wants to love. I hope he manages to stay true to himself. And I believe in it, just as I believe that the dawn will definitely come. As long as our eyes burn, as long as the soul shines, evil will not prevail. Photography. One Shot. The shot was used with my technique mimicking my eye ailment.
