With her project “Diptych“, Nikita Pirogov tries to create symbolic unity between two different environments. She uses light, colour palettes and composition in her pictures to establish a connection of two images that are in themselves very different:  “Diptych is something, that is born from two different sides, something that is born in between.”

Pirogov tries to “show the extension and juxtaposition of the inner (psychological) and outer (cultural) landscapes”. Question what it is that makes people and places different from each other and what unifies us all. Diptychs examines the relationship we have to a cultural home and what would happen if we are to move to a new place. Do we adapt?

It is an interesting approach to identity and place. It searches for common visual ground in photographs from unique or opposing contexts.
