I am a multidisciplinary Ukrainian artist born in Pereiaslav in 1989 and currently based in Kyiv. I work with alternative photographic printing methods, performance, textiles, and material experimentation. In my practice, I often use found, inherited, or culturally significant objects as carriers of memory. I am interested in how materials change under the influence of time, touch, destruction, and care, and how personal and collective histories remain embedded within them.

My work explores themes of war, loss, forced migration, intergenerational trauma, gender-conditioned roles, and social taboos. I think about these subjects through daily rituals, domestic spaces, bodily practices, and processes of transformation. Many of my works emerge slowly, through repetitive actions that resemble rituals — tearing, burying, soaking, printing, stitching, or preserving fragile materials.

Before fully dedicating myself to art, I studied economics and worked for many years as an organizer of festivals and events, a decorator, and a business owner. In 2008, I studied at the Kyiv School of Photography, but it was after my temporary migration to Poland in 2022 that my artistic practice became central to my life. My first works reflecting on the war in Ukraine were shown at the Laznia Center for Contemporary Art in April 2022. Right after it I was invited to a residency at FUNDACJA MEWKA Bartosh Zimniak, where I built my own darkroom and immersed myself in analog and experimental photographic printing processes.

Over the past years, my works have been exhibited in Ukraine and across Europe, including at the European Parliament, the Rotlicht Festival, the Experimental Photo Festival. I have participated in residencies at Filmverkstaden and TYPA, and in 2024 I received the Cultural Scholarship of the City of Gdańsk for the development of my artistic project.

Although photography remains at the core of my practice, I move freely between disciplines. I have participated in the 5th Biennale of Artistic Textile and worked on the reconstruction of the Boryviter mosaic with the creative group Zatyrka. Alongside my artistic practice, I also teach analog photography and experimental printing techniques to children and adults in Ukraine and Poland, sharing the tactile and unpredictable magic of working with physical materials.
