Polina Osipova, Untitled, taken from her instagram @polinatammi 2020.

Osipova was born and raised in Cheboksary, the capital city of the Chuvashia region in western Russia. Growing up, she says, “the fusion of traditional Chuvash culture, Soviet past, and [the] turbulent history of Russia [in the] ’90s has definitely left its mark on me.”

Sasha Samsonova, untitled flower portrait (March 15, 2020).

This is “probably my favorite image from the flower series,” Samsonova said. “It feels sexual, coming of age, female, and ultimately expressive. I took the soft part of a passion fruit and ran it through a blender, mixed in some red paint and here we are.” 

Her flower photographs “needed to be large, letting you dive into the detail of each petal, the way it connected to the core of the flower, how it decayed and lost its color.”

Sasha Samsonova, Arame Fall, yet untitled photo portrait (Oct. 16, 2020)

Self-taught Samsonova studied the work and processes of Helmut Newton and Richard Avedon. “I just try to translate what fascinates me about the things I see into photographs,” Samsonova said.

Jon Henry, Untitled #48, Inglewood, CA (2019)

Stranger Fruit was created in response to the senseless murders of black men across the nation by police violence. Even with smart phones and dash cams recording the actions, more lives get cut short due to unnecessary and excessive violence.

Jon Henry is a visual artist working with photography and text, from Queens NY (resides in Brooklyn). His work reflects on family, sociopolitical issues, grief, trauma and healing within the African American community.
