Through the presence of small animals, her work shifts the center of perception away from the human as a fixed point of reference.
Within environments shaped by human history, natural forces, and overlooked fragments of space, these beings exist without hierarchy or intention. They are not symbols, but presences that reveal perceptual conditions beyond human-centered meaning, reconfiguring how humans relate to other forms of life and their environments.
Rather than opposing human and non-human, her work unfolds within a shared perceptual field where multiple forms of life coexist without a dominant center. Relationships emerge through simultaneous presence, allowing different modes of perception to interact.
By shifting the scale of observation, her images reveal a world beyond human-centered awareness, where what appears small does not imply lesser presence, and what appears dominant does not define reality.
Adelina is a fine art photographer working across New York, France, and Italy. Her practice explores how perception is formed, displaced, and reconfigured across different social and cultural contexts.
Her work has been presented through international exhibitions and public installations, including Art Shopping at the Carrousel du Louvre (Paris, 2026) and Anima Mundi – RITUALS (Venice, 2026). In parallel, she develops a continuous exhibition series within public hospitals in Japan, accompanied by lectures.
Her work has also been featured in the French magazine Maison & Jardin (Spring 2026), and she published the photobook The Unspoken Dialogue in 2025.

These photographs capture a rare Easter Sunday in Glasgow, where April surprised us with a gentle fall of snow. Each image holds a quiet kind of love—moments shared with my fiancé, wrapped in warmth while the world outside turned soft and white. Our kitten sits in awe of the falling snow, curious about it for the first time, adding life to the stillness of the day. The snow, so unexpected for this time of year, makes everything feel fleeting and special, as if we were witnessing something not meant to last. Together, these images tell a story of closeness, comfort, and the beauty of an ordinary day made extraordinary by love and a rare snowfall.

I was born in 2000 in Kumamoto, Japan.
In 2019, I entered the School of International and Public Policy at Osaka University. I began working as a photographer in 2020, developing a practice focused on documenting everyday life and human relationships.
From the beginning, my work has revolved around the theme of division—why it is so difficult for people to simply be together, and how shallow forms of connection, like those on social media, can sometimes deepen our sense of separation. This inquiry became personal when I lost my stepmother to suicide. I found healing through living in a Japanese share house, where people not related by blood became like family through the act of sharing meals and daily routines. That experience shaped both my worldview and my artistic practice.
In 2021, I began traveling across Japan and abroad as a backpacker, living nomadically, selling my photographs on the street, and making work while hitchhiking and engaging with people along the way. In 2022, I extended my practice to Europe and Southeast Asia, focusing on how lived experience and community can be forms of creation. After graduating from Osaka University in 2024, I based myself in a share house in Mie Prefecture, Japan, and continued to explore these themes through my photography.
Since June 2025, I have been based in London. I currently live in a share house and work at a vintage apparel shop, where I am responsible for both sales and photography/video production. Living in London has brought a renewed awareness of social divisions, especially around immigration, class, and the emotional flattening often seen in online communication. These large-scale issues can feel distant or abstract, but I try to approach them from a micro, personal level—through small, real, lived moments that I witness and create.
My recent projects include:
“Tender Hours ” – a series where I visit other share houses, cook meals, and photograph the gentle entanglement of lives around the table. While I frame the experience as a photo project, my aim is to create new relationships through the act of sharing food—a form of intentional but non-performative interaction.
” ‘ ‘ ” – a visual journal of everyday life and cultural layering in London, photographed from the upper decks of buses, capturing a city constantly in motion and transformation.
Rather than documenting division directly, I aim to practice and visualize the possibility of togetherness. I don’t want to make work that negates or accuses, but instead to gently open up new spaces of empathy and shared life—without denying difference, and without erasing pain.

Mark Kendrick
Experimenting with all manner of genres- landscape, nature, wildlife, sports and automotive through his formative years, it was only when working as a photographer on cruise ships that Mark had to face his fear of portraiture. Up until then, the subject couldn’t have an opinion on his images, but the feedback of subjects and mentorship of peers helped to cultivate a deeper understanding of composition, lighting and presentation.
The enforced lockdown of 2020 is when Mark discovered a love for abstract photography. Confined alone to a small studio flat on the outskirts of London, thoughts began stewing and experiments were happening. Beginning with experiments of light and shadow, playing around with colourful food colouring and his most intriguing- controlled camera movement as demonstrated in Pirouettes.
2021 saw the first international recognition for Mark’s work, with the project “Light in the Dark”, a delicate series of images with a serious underpinning message being nominated for the Fine Art Photography Awards.
Mark started exhibiting in galleries in 2024, with his first contribution being the Summer City Idyll in July 2024, shortly followed by the New York, I Love You show- both hosted at the Agora gallery in New York’s Chelsea district.
In 2025, exhibitions such as Transcendence at London’s Boomer Gallery and Art Surrey have allowed Mark’s work to be seen by more people. In March 2025, Mark was nominated for the Fine Art Photography Awards.

My still life practice centres on flowers as a way to explore presence, transience, and the quiet drama of sustained observation. I work with controlled light and restrained palettes, drawing on the visual language of classical painting while remaining firmly photographic in intent. Through careful composition and isolation of the subject—often against dark, atmospheric backgrounds – I aim to slow the act of looking, allowing form, texture, and tone to take precedence over immediacy. My intention is to create images that reward patience, contributing to the still life tradition while speaking quietly to contemporary concerns of time, care, and attention.
