“In the Flow of Time — London Reflections”
Yana Northen • 17 October 2025
How time, memory, and light intertwined on the day of my exhibition.
Yesterday, an exhibition opened in London in which I participated.
It was wonderful to see people coming up, asking questions, and showing genuine interest.
It was also fascinating to see other works — some artists truly moved me.
My theme is once again about time — about its flow, something that is, in fact, almost impossible to notice in real life.
Almost everyone asked me about my technique: what methods I used, whether I applied something like tracing paper. But these are my own photographs. And, to be honest, I was surprised myself when I first saw them printed — they looked like drawings.
Special thanks to the team who helped me with the printing — the result exceeded my expectations.
In this series, I wanted to show an analogy to life itself — how we move through uncertainty, through rises and falls, and gradually find a path toward the light.
Sometimes it feels as if darkness will never end, but that’s not true.
In my photographs, I continue to explore this phenomenon — how light and time intertwine along our path through life.
