FENCED OFF
drawing series

The project explores color as an autonomous phenomenon, existing beyond form or narrative. Matter becomes a co-creator, revealing its own logic of motion, transformation, and interaction. Through the dialogue of pigment, time, and space, unique visual states emerge — sensual, open, and unpredictable. The artist treats the process as a living environment: she observes attentively, listens, and creates conditions for appearance rather than control. In this mutual presence, color develops its own breath — it does not describe, but senses; it does not signify, but simply exists.
The series features vivid, expansive landscapes — pure horizons reminiscent of steppes — where surreal, nearly abstract figures and silhouettes occasionally surface. The titles of the works (Fenced Off, Fell and Died, Mother, Pink Field, Angel, among others) function not only as labels but as active participants in the process, subtly influencing the viewer’s perception of imagery that is otherwise self-sufficient.
While the visual world of the series remains open and abstract, it quietly echoes the emotional landscape of contemporary Ukraine — a condition of being “fenced off” from safety, rest, and ordinary life. Certain works, such as Fell and Died, carry the resonance of irrevocable endings: the fall of a defender, the collapse of a path, the moment where movement ceases.
Together, these drawings form a poetic space where color, form, and language coexist in a delicate tension, shaped by both material presence and the distant tremor of ongoing reality.
