This photo project is dedicated to young people who engage in Kalmyk folk dances. I wanted to explore the role tradition plays in their daily lives and what connects the new generation to their national culture.
The focus of the project is the people themselves—their movements and their relationships with one another. Through these photographs, I observe how they learn, repeat familiar steps, make mistakes, and try again.
These moments form the life of a collective where folk dance becomes an integral part of each individual’s personal experience.
