I was born in Ukraine and moved to the States at the age of nine. Having been born in a country that has been fighting for survival and freedom, I have witnessed a great deal of destruction.
I am motivated to oppose this state of being and instead create art that nurtures safety and cultivates a connective space for humans. To relish in breathing and to acknowledge that humans are interchangeable with the natural world: capable of both blossom and frost, fragility and strength. Humans temporary existense is unavoidable, therefore we must chose to love.
Rise. Breathe. Dissolve.
