Maryna Frolova

Ugly project — Nikita, 2018

About the Works

The basis of the artist's projects is the relationships, feelings, and experiences of people close to each other. In this way, Maryna Frolova helps the protagonists in the pictures to better understand their, sometimes unexpected for them, essence. In particular, works from the Ugly project Nikita were created in close cooperation with the model. The main object of the shooting dedicated to the difference in the vision of beauty was a guy with an androgynous appearance. The series was created in a provincial city in Ukraine with a high level of xenophobia and homophobia.
