Before visiting Belarus, I asked my friends who were born in this country to share their thoughts about their homeland, so that during my trip I would try to reproduce these thoughts in my photography.
Carolina, was born in Rogachev, Gomel region, lives in Minsk:
"Beautiful nature, clean air, helpful people, not a lot of people, calm."
Roman, was born in Bobruisk, Mogilev region, lives in Vilnius:
"When entering Belarus, you feel a “note” of concern for your country - well-groomed fertile fields, smooth roads equipped with campsites. Due to the temperate continental climate and the ambition of the Belarusian people, nature seems to breathe life. Belarus is filled with history, which is symbolized by many monuments to heroes and creative personalities of different eras. Modern cities attract tourists and travelers. In suburban areas there are many nature reserves and health resorts. There are many rivers and lakes. The Belarusian people are kind and sympathetic, which cannot be said about the authorities, who are only thinking about how to take away the last thing from people. In general Belarus leaves a pleasant impression and a desire to visit it again."
