Artist: Yulia Denisyuk
Edition: 1/1
Collection: Solitary Journeys
About the image: According to the block universe theory, the way we experience time – passing by in a linear fashion – is an illusion. Instead, past, present, and future all exist simultaneously in a four-dimensional space-time continuum block. That theory feels especially relevant in Egypt, where floating on the Nile in Luxor or being stuck in Cairo traffic feels outside of time as we know it. Standing at the Pyramids of Giza on the dawn of my birthday, I felt as if I was inside this continuum, where past, present, and future collapsed into one eternal moment.
Location: Egypt
Year: 2021
Image specs: 4966 x 7445
About the collection: Shot across eight countries in the span of six years, the “Solitary Journeys” collection blurs the lines between street photography, documentary photography, travel photography, and art. Every photograph represents a relationship between movement and stillness and explores the transience of human experience, showing moments that may have otherwise gone unnoticed in the hustle of our daily lives.
About the artist: Yulia Denisyuk is an award-winning travel photographer and writer working on assignments with various publications around the world. For past work, she’s shared a roof with nomads in Mongolia and documented Iznik tile artisans in Turkey.

What is life if not a solitary journey from one place to the next? Emotions come and go, people enter and leave our lives – only one actor remains.
This collection blurs the lines between street, documentary, travel photography, and art. Every photograph represents a relationship between movement and stillness. My subjects are either on the verge of transitioning to the next scene or being still in the moment. They are brushstrokes of light passing through life. These frozen moments of time are like still frames from an old movie. Blink and they’ll disappear forever.
With this work, I aim to capture the transience of the human experience. I am asking the viewer to slow down, pay attention, be still enough to look deeply at these images, and see the details I have included in the frame.
This collection of 9 1/1 images was shot across 8 countries in the span of 6 years.
