Birches

The birch, a symbol of Russia, reflects my deep connection to my homeland. These sculptures contain my mixed emotions about visiting: the longing for loved ones, coupled with a profound insecurity due to the totalitarian regime that persecutes those who dare to speak out against the government.

 

 

Houses

In this series, I explore the question of where home truly is during the immigration process. With no desire to return to a totalitarian regime, I search for a new sense of belonging, blending my current experiences with memories of my homeland.

 

 

Bread

During my experience of immigration I explore the history of my family through my personal archives. For me, bread is a sacred and significant symbol, connecting generations, representing the notions of caring, stability, and weal.
