About the Item
Created in Kyiv, Ukraine, during the full-scale war of 2025, this artwork reimagines the classical still life through a contemporary lens. The artist employs asymmetry as a deliberate compositional technique, breaking away from traditional balance to evoke tension and dissonance reflective of the times. Using collage as the primary method, the work features a bold deconstruction of form, where familiar objects are fragmented and reassembled in unexpected ways. Color, too, undergoes deconstruction — layered, interrupted, and redefined — challenging conventional harmony and inviting new perception. The piece stands as both a personal expression and a cultural commentary, shaped by the reality of war and the resilience of artistic vision.
