Dependence

YaGallery, Kyiv 2023
The project began with contemplation on the existential nature of good and evil, positive and negative, and how they interact, balance, and depend on each other. The word "dependency" later became key to the project.
From birth to death, we are dependent. And this dependency can be different - pleasant and positive, negative, or destructive.
The works are based on two elements and their multiplicity. Depending on their arrangement and quantity, I change the form and method of interaction of dependency.
The choice of material emphasizes the fragility of the elements' existence among themselves, showing that the slightest action can break and make the dependency disappear. Sometimes, to become independent from someone or something, a lot of effort is needed. Sometimes, independence can come at a high cost.
