Mother
series of digital collages from photos of modern Kyiv architecture and destroyed Soviet monuments. The landscape of Ukraine was changing very quickly and I tried to capture these changes in one image. Combining real photos into a collage, I wanted to get the most surreal image, such a concentrate of layers of history to get a photo from the future. In 2020, I supplemented the series with works with the Kyiv crematorium and the Azovstal plant. Back then, when I combined the skeleton of a whale and the Azovstal plant, I had in mind an environmental theme, but now, after the Russian invasion, these works have a completely different meaning. So I was able to look into the future, see a glimpse of the future, and make a very sad prophecy.
In 2022, I continued the series by making a collage of destroyed Ukrainian houses and the Mariupol theater, there is also my personal pain, a fragment of my mother's burnt house in the city of Volnovakha, Donetsk region. Volnovakha - the city of my childhood, completely destroyed by Russian troops.
