Maksym Bazylenko

Maksym Bazelenko is a film photographer from Ukraine whose work delves deeply into the complexities of the human mind. His ongoing series explores the fragile and often turbulent nature of people’s mental states, focusing on themes such as burnout, hopelessness, and emotional emptiness. Through the intentional manipulation and partial destruction of analog negatives, Bazelenko transforms traditional photographic techniques into a powerful form of psychological expression. Each image becomes both a visual and emotional artifact—reflecting the inner disintegration and silent struggles that define contemporary human experience.
