The work explores the transformation of memory in the face of loss and alienation. Two layers of film with a fragmentary depiction of the Kherson landscape form a conditional boundary between the real and the imaginary. Here it becomes impossible to see the landscape in its entirety - it appears and disappears, like a horizon that is always moving away or a memory that is being lost.

The technique of layering and overlapping symbolises the fragility of memory, which is torn between the attempt to hold on to the past and the impossibility of its full recovery. The image is blurred, its details are missing or disappearing, just like the real landscape, almost destroyed by the war.

The space between the film layers and their interaction reinforce the idea of uncertainty: it is a field between the past and the present, between home and exile, between what was and what is no longer there.
