Ukraine ablaze

Melancholia

Technique:

Paper, ink, photolithography

Year:

2022

This is a series of graphic prints based on the artist’s personal memories. The material for these prints is based on an archive of photos taken over the last seven years in different cities across Ukraine. The project explores memory and its impermanence. The black ink of printing disappears from the surface of paper the same as memories disappear from our heads. New memories overlap each other in layers, shining through the transparency of the tracing paper. And sometimes, as much as people want to remember something important, it's still not in their power to hold onto memories.
