Since 2021, the situation around Ukraine became increasingly tense and explosive, leading to an all-out war with numerous casualties among both military and civilians.
In exploring the emerging situation, I focused on creating 3D objects and paintings which demonstrate different fragments of the overall social construction within the situation under consideration.

This work explores how war and propaganda literally fracture human reality.

It is based on the image of disintegration. The pixel grid in the painting is not just an artistic device, but also a metaphor for how, in the modern world, living tragedy is transformed into digital noise, and human lives into dry statistics.

The deconstructed fingers embody crystallized moments of trauma. They act as frozen lenses, forcing us to stare at individual fragments of the catastrophe, even when the overall picture is too terrible to comprehend.

At the same time, their swarm, reaching for an impersonal mechanical funnel, is a cry of the collective body a human attempt to cling to fleeting life at a moment when the apparatus of war consumes their individuality.

Unfortunately, today we can no longer see the world objectively.

Our perceptions are obscured by personal grief and refracted through thousands of information filters, as reality finally fragments, leaving only sharp shards of memory in the digital chaos.
