Meditative notebook of war, 2022
Instalation
War
The 24-sheet notebook was a life jacket for the artist from the first days of the 2022 war. Each page - one word or one phrase in Ukrainian that was in the news feeds in the first months of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The meditative process of writing the same thing forced the artist to calm down, turn the painful news into a history, accept it.
Next, each sheet was torn into 4 parts, two of which were turned over so that the other side of the sheet was visible. The black background forms a cross between the particles of one sheet. Memorial wreaths and mourning bouquets grew on the soil of the meditative war notebook.
