Endowing her own memory with corporeality, each time the artist turns to different mediums that make the perception of the past more multidimensional: fabrics, wallpaper, napkins and lace embroidered by the artist's grandmother, Soviet porcelain - objects from her personal archive are reflected in the collective memory of several generations.

“My artistic practice aims to reveal the connections between past and present in the infinite cycle of life. The emotional paradox of living ambivalent feelings, questions of self-identity through the past, and the exploration of personal narrative through collective memory give birth to man-made objects that evoke the emotional turmoil and peace of encountering the past in a new form. By endowing my own memory with corporeality, each time I turn to different mediums that make the perception of the past more multidimensional: fabrics, wallpaper, napkins and lace embroidered by my grandmother's hands, Soviet porcelain - objects from my personal archive are reflected in the collective memory of several generations. By consciously working without a preconceived sketch, I allow the objects to form and change in the process of interaction of individual elements, like a living organism. The possibility of emotionally reliving past experiences in the present and appropriating the memory of physical manifestation is my way of overcoming the discreteness of memory through the creative act.”
