This work examines how war and propaganda fracture reality amid the escalating conflict in Ukraine.

Using paintings, the project employs a pixel grid metaphor to illustrate the transformation of living tragedy into digital noise and dry statistics.

Deconstructed fingers embody crystallized trauma, serving as lenses that isolate fragments of catastrophe.

Their collective swarm, drawn into a mechanical funnel, represents a cry for life as the apparatus of war consumes individuality, obscuring any objective perception of the world.

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.
