The works are made in the diptych technique, created during a long journey through the regions of Russia from June 2024 to September 2024.
In the modern world, “home” is perceived not only as a physical space, but also as an abstract concept filled with the meaning of belonging, migration and intercultural coexistence.
The project, “Transformation of the Home, ” creates a visual narrative from diptychs about how the concept of home is rethought, going through the stages of accepting life changes.
