Am I allowed to feel beautiful? (2023)
On that February 2022 morning, when Russia launched a full-scale war against my country, my world turned dark. It lost all meaning and direction. I absorbed the pain, sorrow, and horrors from every story, every conversation.
And I drowned in darkness.
The “Shells” series reflects the fragility of human life—destroyed in an instant.
These pieces hold the sorrow of what can be lost in a moment, and the tenderness of what remains: the imprint of a life, a breath, a soul.
Quiet sorrow (2023)
Healing (2024)
Why? (2023)
Meetings with death (2023)
In one moment, forever (2024)
would you like to buy?
Each piece is a form that arrived, unannounced, and stayed.
A small truth made visible.
If something here speaks to you,
I’m glad.
I don’t mass produce, and I don’t yet wrap these pieces
in polished boxes or big labels.
But I do offer them—quietly—
to those who feel a connection.
I also welcome commissions,
when there’s space for trust and shared meaning.
Let’s talk, if your heart says so.
