“Wild” is an art project by Anton Usanov and DMYTRO Barulin about returning to the body, to nature, and to a sense of primal freedom.
Shot on a wild beach on Koh Phangan, Thailand, this series features blending bodies into the rocks — becoming one with the landscape. no faces, no roles, no words. Only skin, stone, and silence.
The project was born from a personal search — a need to step beyond identity, ego, and control, and to reconnect with something ancient, honest, and real.
Over four days of shooting, 35 people became part of this shared ritual. No acting, no posing — just presence.
This is A quiet reminder that to feel fully alive again,
you must BECOME FREE AND wild, AT LEAST for a moment.
