After his suicide in 2001, she discovered a box containing photographs, slides, family albums, official documents and personal belongings.

The nature of his work was so closely guarded that even his two daughters knew nothing about it. What began as an attempt to understand the father she had lost became a much larger investigation into family, memory, secrecy and the fragile boundary between what we know and what we believe we know.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBinom\u003c\/em\u003e takes physical form as two interconnected volumes - two sides of the same life. One reconstructs the world Drachinskaya remembers: family holidays, a summer house built by hand, childhood games, everyday rituals and the quiet intimacy of family photographs. The other follows the life that emerges from the archive: official documents, uniforms, photographs and fragments of a professional existence kept secret for decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003eNeither volume tells the whole story. Together, they create a space between memory and evidence, between the family portrait and the historical record. Drachinskaya does not attempt to solve every mystery. Instead, she allows the gaps, contradictions and silences in the archive to remain visible - reminding us that even the people closest to us can contain entire lives we never knew existed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003eThe title \u003cem\u003eBinom\u003c\/em\u003e comes from the mathematical term for an expression composed of two terms. Here, the idea becomes both structure and metaphor: two volumes, two lives, two narratives, two versions of reality - the visible and the concealed. Mathematics, with its precision and neutrality, becomes an unexpected counterpoint to the deeply human ambiguities of memory and truth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003eWinner of the 11th LUMA Rencontres Dummy Book Award, \u003cem\u003eBinom\u003c\/em\u003e was developed during the 2022 Photobook as an Object workshop led by Yumi Goto and Jan Rosseel in collaboration with Reminders Photography Stronghold.
