The Word

Similar images and symbols meet in completely different peoples with different history and culture. It's a symbol of unity, the unity of the peoples of the world. In the photo project I analyze Bashkir, English, Russian proverbs with similar symbolism. It is an aspiration to tell the story of Bashkirs and Bashkir culture and to show the unity of the peoples of the world. Each photo corresponds to a proverb in three languages (Bashkir, Russian, English), and that shows how universal these ideas are. The heroine in the frame is wearing an originalnational Bashkir costume: its elements were passed on from the grandmothers of all members of our crew.
