Lena Pogrebnaya

Ukrainian-born Architect and Photographer Lena Pogrebnaya, now based in Toronto, seamlessly integrates her architectural expertise with a profound love for photography. Since her introduction to the craft in university, Pogrebnaya has delved into themes of assimilation, youth influence, and the intrinsic connection between nature and architecture.

Pogrebnaya's work reflects her migration journey, capturing the complexities of assimilation and cultural identity. Through her lens, she navigates the intersection of cultural identity and displacement, challenging established notions of home.
Drawing inspiration from nature's raw beauty and architectural elegance, her photos harmonize human intervention with organic landscapes. Her artistic process exudes spontaneity and fluidity, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of light, color, and form.

Expanding her creative horizons, Pogrebnaya explores motion storytelling through videography, pushing the boundaries of visual expression. Continuously evolving, she endeavours to provoke thought, evoke empathy, and foster a deeper understanding of the world.
