Grandmothers on the Edge of Heaven
The Grandmothers on the Edge of Heaven project is dedicated to my grandmother. I've been thinking a lot about this generation lately. If before the pandemic hit older people in Ukraine simply felt lost and unprotected in this world, now fear has become the dominant factor in their experiences. And it is religion that provides an escape from reality. In my works, I move the figures of women who resemble my grandmother into ideal landscapes that could be associated with the idea of heaven. Earlier, before the threat of military invasion of Ukraine, my project was just a lyrical dedication to the older generation, and a reminder to support closely related people. These days, the project represents another opportunity to show the world this country and its people, namely their beauty, uniqueness, and fragility. Now, we all need each other's support, and I'm sure we have it, and together we will win.
