In this work, I wanted to explore how public opinion shapes our lives, our appearance, and our choices of priorities, goals, and desires.

Although the characters may not appear serious or tragic, each of them carries its own message...

This work is dedicated to all mothers who are left with young children without support.
If you are in such a situation, believe that your life can change for the better as early as tomorrow!
Go forward with hope, overcoming difficulties for the sake of your little one (little ones).

This a triptych entitled Find Someone Like You in Another Country, consisting of three works: Denmark/India, Kenya/England, and South Korea/Mexico. In each portrait, I combine the visual features and characteristics of two women from different cultural backgrounds into a single harmonious image. The resulting portraits transcend national and cultural boundaries, inviting viewers to reflect on common humanity rather than difference. I intentionally leave the final interpretation open to the audience.

I created this work in Egypt in 2023. It was one of the most difficult years of my life. My world had fallen apart, just as it had for many others who had left Russia.
At that moment, all I had was my destiny, a suitcase, and my dog.
The only hotel in Egypt that accepted guests with dogs happened to be a hotel full of cats. I was clearly warned that if my dog harmed even one of the cats, we would be asked to leave. In the end, we became friends with every cat in the hotel.
Less than a week later, the conflict between Israel and Palestine began. People took to the streets of Egypt, and I had no idea what would happen next.
At that moment, I found myself thinking about all women, especially those with children. I realized that in times like these, many of us can do nothing but cry, powerless to change what is happening around us.
