The documentary series by photographer Kristina Syrchikova, who graduated from FotoDepartament.Institute educational program, “Funeral Dress” was published on Bird in Flight website. The work is dedicated to a close friend of the photographer’s family, an elderly woman suffering from cancer. Kristina Syrchikova: “I wanted to make people pay attention to those who suffer from cancer. To make them see pain, hope, humility and loss of faith; to face the merciless medical system. I hope that my work would bring relief to the pain of the people who are in same situation. I hope that they can find the power not to give up and support each other. These series is a revelation and an attempt to turn the wound inside out. This is painful, but also nessesary.”
