Collection concept:
Sea of Us
Since the full-scale invasion of Russian forces into Ukrainian territory, creativity has become a method for me, as an artist, to transform stress and emotions into art. In 2022, my collection of works dedicated to the war, titled "Memorial," began. I first presented these works at ROJW in 2023; some pieces are displayed in this year's exhibition.
Time passes, and unfortunately, the war continues, as does my reflection, which finds new facets of feelings and forms. In 2024, the collection "Sea of Us" was born. The central image in this collection is the human hand, a simple and understandable symbol. These hands, arranged in various compositions, take on different forms and meanings. Countless hands, hands that need help, hands that merge into a single entity, melt like wax, and disappear into the sea of oblivion...
