Angela Atamas is a Ukrainian-American photographer based in the Midwest, USA. Her work explores the relationship between art and wandering. Be it meandering of the mind or literal wandering, the serendipity of it bestows intriguing ideas that hadn’t occurred to her before and transforms them into pictures. Conversely, a painting may delight her on canvas first and then urges her to travel to where the art was made. As borders closed during Covid-19 pandemic, she gained a new appreciation for exploring local communities and challenged herself to tell their stories. Her photographic timeline captures contemporary moods, events, and behaviors which usher in a new era while reflecting on our collective past.
