Her playful creations range from floral portraits and dreamlike landscapes to tiny camping scenes, paper meals and intricate botanical arrangements.</p>\n<p>Mariia previously worked in visual communication, first as a graphic designer for one of Ukraine’s largest TV channels and later as a UI designer in the IT industry. In 2023, she shifted her focus entirely toward physical materials, turning a long-standing fascination with paper into the foundation of her practice. Since then, her distinctive approach has led to collaborations with brands including Disney, Ferragamo, Ciroc and Lessebo Paper.</p>\n<p>For more of Mariia&#8217;s work, check out her <a
