Artist and Architect with a background in Fine Art (Kyiv Academy of Visual Arts) and Sustainable Architecture (Politecnico di Milano). For the past 5 years, developing a situation-specific approach by making large-scale art installations as part of a core team at RAAAF. Simultaneously, working as an Embedded architect in a philosophical project at the AMC (Amsterdam Medical Center), Department of Philosophy/Brain & Cognition.
Fusing Art methodology, Architecture studies and Memory philosophical research in order to Recognize and Memorialize the spaces that fading from public memory and imagination.
"Contemporary cities are haunted by ghosts of hopeless, historically loaded and emotionally charged buildings and spaces in decay. Their souls are lost and stuck in a state “in between”, due to impossibility to adapt to the shifts of our time such as Climate change, Pandemic, Economic collapse, Political change, shifts of meanings and needs.
I am trying to register and document the shifts and its global scale effects on particular personalized examples. And help the spirits of places, and the deeper stories hidden within them, appear to the living. Materialize what is not in the physical world anymore, but not beyond yet, by capturing the “in between” state and make it tangible. In a shape of Architectural large- (sometimes 1:1) scale models. Embalming and mummifying memories and emotions, nostalgia and loss."
