Description: матрёшка, matryoshka, a Russian doll in the sky.
Artist Statement: The picture of the matryoshka doll represents my mom’s side of the family being from Belarus and Russia. In this photograph, I play with a unique angle of the doll pointed in the sky making the doll appear larger than it actually is to make it a focal point and emphasize the power that the Russian culture has.
