About the artwork
This scene is not about sexuality, but about the usual action in life, which seems to be the same, but something important has changed, because it is impossible to completely abstract from information, from disgust and understanding of an unbelievably terrible reality. Photos of tortured people and their stories keep appearing in my head like an itch.
The light from the flame in work is what my life has been filled with for the last year. This work is also about my lonely life outside Ukraine. About how I sat alone in a house on the territory of a gallery in Germany after all the festivities were over and the artists had left the place. Then I lived alone in a house for art residents of Not Quite in Sweden. It feelling changed a little after I went to Ukraine and took my mother and dog to Sweden. But all the same, the feeling of loneliness is strengthened by the understanding that the people around you will never be able for understand you completely. Every day I met a lot of friendly, sympathetic and interested people. But they do not have the fatality that Ukrainians are endowed with.
In this work and in the work with the forest, I dedicated certain chapters to my friend, with whom we were volunteer coordinators together, and together we ruined our health from overwork.
On the laptop there is a clip with music that I don't listen to often, but I liked it because it was almost the first new music that I heard in a few months after the beginning of the bombing of Ukraine. It was turned on by my friend when we finally met in Kyiv to leave for Germany, where she went to help me instaleted the work. What started my journey to Sweden.
