installation, fabric, thread, 240x210 cm, 60x210 cm, 2025 

This is a large-scale transfer of a photographs onto fabric using 80 A4 sheets, creating a visual map of blurred memory and loss. The image combines two landscapes: the shore of the village of Vesele on the liberated but nearly destroyed bank of the Kherson region, and the sky of Nova Kakhovka, which no longer belongs to its city. Landscape here has lost its point of reference, turning into a memory of a place that no longer exists.

In this installation, transfer is both a physical and symbolic process, reflecting migration, displacement, and the artist’s inner state. The ink smudging during printing is not a flaw but an inevitable stage that visualizes the fading of memory.

The work explores the interaction between scale and detail: enlarging the image seeks to preserve memory, yet the blurring emphasizes its fluidity. It transforms a concrete image into a ghostly trace—just like memories themselves. Just as it is impossible to return to a lost home, each instance of blurring here is a step toward inevitable dissolution, but also toward accepting the loss.

Thus, the work balances between memory and forgetting, presence and absence. Transfer through blurring is not just a technique but a way of contemplating one’s own state.
