Olya + Kolya

Olya + Kolya

This photography series is based on the ancient thought that a truly loving person almost completely identifies with another one  he loves. In broad meaning that idea is confirmed in the philosophical teachings, in commandments from above like "have love for your neighbour as for yourself", "and the two will become one flesh". We can find the same in folk parables. In the songs of our century "I am you, you are me" is already proclaimed by many. Children's inscriptions on fences like "Olya+Kolya=love" carry the same thought - two become one. The author of the presented photos decided to capture this idea in a naive way.
