Since the beginning of her photographic career, Miriam Pružincová has been dedicated to conceptual documentary photography. At first glance, her images may appear delicate but through their deliberate grouping into diptychs, they reveal many harsh realities and paradoxes. Moving from environmental themes and stories of people searching for their identity, the artist now explores personal themes related to safe environments and generational concerns.

In her latest project, Every Day Is the Most Beautiful, Miriam documents her mother rediscovering cycling after thirty years. This endeavour helps her mother alleviate the fear and anxiety stemming from the awareness of her husband’s impending death. The work addresses issues such as separation anxiety, fear of loneliness, mental health across generations, and the significance of safe environments. It also underscores the importance of flow in our lives and the need to remind ourselves of simple “truths”.
