Gulnara was one of the first artists in the Soviet Union to mix photography, oil painting and collage. In 2014 Gulnara attended Mary Ellen Mark's workshop who later wrote to her, '.someone as talented as you really should pursue a serious personal body of work.” She began to work on a new series, exploring her childhood and family members she never knew anything about. In the ongoing series 'Lost Family', she leave parts of the black and white photographs untouched to represent the “present' life.

By creating a collage using her found family and childhood photographs, Gulnara connects the present and the past to covey an imagined story.
