About me

was born in 2002 (Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine).
2020-2023 - Kyiv Academy of Arts (Fine Arts Department ), 2024-now - Universität der Kunste (Fine Arts Department), Berlin. Artistic practices includes painting, works on paper, prints (dry point, lithography), photography, perfomance, installations, spatial objects. Currently lives and works in Berlin.

My artistic practice focuses on exploring the fragmentation and reconstruction of the identity of the body and the subject in conditions of violence, prohibitions, migration, and social transformations. I work with personal experience as material, but I do not consider it autobiographical. For me, it is a field of collective memory in which trauma, sexuality, gender, and repetitive daily rituals become ways of fixing and rethinking the vulnerable human condition.
