Artist Statement

Ukraine is at an inflection point, teetering between its ancient traditions, Soviet legacy, and contemporary global trajectory. A war rages, and its political consequences rival its physical ones. A walk in the forest, the sound of a bell, the pain of an old war injury, boredom: the sensations the same, but with new significance. Through thousands of individual choices and actions, society changes – or fails to change.
