Growing up on Sakhalin Island in the Pacific region and many years of studying East Asia as a researcher have shaped my visual language.
My artistic practice focuses on the decay of systems — whether cultural, historical, or personal constructs. I am drawn to their vulnerable points, the places where cracks begin to appear: can they be held together, repaired, or is disintegration inevitable? In the culture of the 21st century, I observe how human-made structures — architectural, symbolic, and ideological — gradually lose their stability under the pressure of time, information, and consumption.
In some works, I capture moments of preservation; in others, I explore how entire worlds collapse and disappear. This is both an analytical and a deeply personal investigation into the fragility of order.
My projects take the form of graphic series, objects, and spatial installations. I seek to engage viewers not only intellectually but also physically through scale, materiality, texture, and presence in space. It is important to me that the viewer can sense the size of the image, the breath of paper, and the material presence of the print.
