Anastasia Izgagina’s work is about elusive beauty, light, nature, and people. She focuses on the process, not the result, on the essence that lies in the depths, like parts of icebergs invisible to us. Anastasia strives to capture the beauty of a sunbeam illuminating a face like a canvas, about things that elude us, the beauty of impermanence and the transience of things.
She believes that all things in the world are constantly changing and that nothing is permanent. This is both a reminder of the fleeting nature of our experiences and a source of inspiration for living in the present moment. The beauty of impermanence lies in the fact that it encourages us to appreciate and make the most of the time we have.
She reminds herself to appreciate the beauty of light, water, planet and youth. Just like an iceberg, a person's face can have different layers of beauty. On the surface, a person's face may be striking and symmetrical, but upon closer inspection, Anastasia may discover other subtle and intricate beauty such as the person's expressions, emotions and the way light draws. By capturing these moments, Anastasia hopes to inspire others to appreciate and cherish the world around them.
