THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF OLGA ZAVERSHINSKAYAOlga Zavershinskaya, also known as Armene, is a creative photographer born in Voronezh, Russia, in 1986. Since 2007, she has dedicated herself entirely to artistic photography, where she masterfully combines lines, shapes, and light to convey ideas to the viewer while maintaining a strong visual aesthetic. One of the recurring themes in her work is the human body, which she uses as a tool to create impressions, forms, and thoughts through its expression and perfection.
Her creative process begins from scratch, starting with sketches and later adding clothing, makeup, hairstyles, and other elements. She works in a studio, using artificial lighting and a white background, alongside her camera and a couple of lenses. The process is completed with post-production in Photoshop, bringing her concepts to life. Her work is defined by a minimalist, sensual, and highly evocative style.

THE HISTORY OF NOODLES: A MILLENNIA-LONG JOURNEY CONNECTING CULTURESNoodles trace their origins back to China, where evidence of their existence dates to over 4,000 years ago. Since then, they became a staple food thanks to their ease of transport, preparation, and preservation. Through the Silk Road, noodles traveled westward, reaching the Middle East and the Mediterranean, where each culture adapted them in its own unique way.
In Italy, noodles evolved into pasta, with iconic varieties like spaghetti and lasagna, while in Japan, they became true culinary art forms, such as ramen, udon, and soba, each with its distinct identity.
The global breakthrough came in the 20th century with the invention of instant noodles by Momofuku Ando in 1958, making noodles affordable and accessible worldwide. Since then, noodles have gone from being a functional food to a cultural symbol found in virtually every cuisine: pasta in Italy, ramen in Japan, pho in Vietnam, or fideo soups in Latin America.
Today, noodles are a universal and versatile food, able to adapt to any culture or occasion, from a humble soup to gourmet dishes. Their story is that of a simple food that has crossed borders and connected cultures for millennia.
This is what happens when you ask AI for noodle photos, ALRNCN style.
