Hey, I'm Ilya, 18, a photographer from Moldova.
I shoot photos to figure things out—myself and the world around me. I'm more interested in the feelings behind stuff, especially those moments after something's already gone.
I find beauty in everyday things: concrete, light, textures. I look for places that might seem boring, but they give me a chance to really observe. I dig clean, geometric shots and how normal, daily life can mean something personal.
I'm drawn to the idea of mono no aware—that quiet, sad feeling about things fading away and finding strength in that.
