About this series

Dandelions represent a fragile beauty that is almost impossible to keep intact. They are a symbol of transience and an airy attitude towards life and summertime. For people living in a continental climate, summer is a symbol of life. And dandelions are a symbol of carefree living. So are soap bubbles. Only soap bubbles can compare with dandelions in how carefree they are. Small, light, airy, carefree life. They are a symbol of a barefoot, air-in-the-hair childhood, running wild and free. We created this project in the Spring and Summer of 2020, being stuck in lockdown. It was a unique time when we longed for freedom and lightness of heart. We wanted to go on long walks rather than being stuck in four walls of 60 square meters. That’s what this is about.

“Everyone is surrounded by as much magic as they are able to see themselves.”

Kristina Makeeva is a photographer, author of “Simple Magic Things,” and explorer of magic in the everyday. She has been photographing for the last 14 years and has exhibited and published worldwide. She keeps loose track of her partnerships that range from Adobe Photoshop to hotel chains, clothing brands, etc. while pursuing her passion for traveling the world in search of beauty. Her last exhibit was in Seoul, South Korea, and she has held exhibitions in her home country of Russia.

Her most significant achievement is that she still finds passion in photography. Her biggest inspiration is travel. Traveling expands our worldview and makes us more tolerant, inspired, and excited. It’s no wonder that most of Kristina’s photos are from her adventures.
