About the Photographer:
Galya Biryukova is an artist and photographer working at the intersection of visual art and inner psychology. Her photo projects are personal investigations in which the city becomes a mirror, and the blurred contours of reality serve as a way to sense the self.
Each series is a search for focus — directed both outward and inward — an attempt to capture presence through the rhythm of streets, light, reflections, and movement. The city is not merely a backdrop here; it becomes a participant in an inner dialogue, a medium through which one can hear silence, dislocation, tension, or clarity.
Galya works with photography as a language of sensation — a kind of visual diary, where details matter less than pauses, blur, and the in-between state. Her frames are not about external images, but inner emotions; visual metaphors for fleeting identity and the fragile thread between the outer and the inner.
These are photographs one can dwell in — or get lost in.
Or perhaps, even find oneself.
