Field Recording
My independent work explores the boundaries between physical space and digital media. Through two exhibitions in Berlin, I developed immersive environments that use video and sound to study how we perceive reality and social identity.
They all have iPhones, why should we help?
This project challenges the visual stereotypes of refugees in the European mind. While people often expect to see poverty or "otherness," this work highlights the reality of the Ukrainian middle class—professionals with iPhones and urban lifestyles suddenly forced into the trauma of displacement. The installation uses an audio-visual archive of real voices, arguments, and calls recorded during 27 hours at the border in the cold. It strips away social class to show a crowd of thousands united by a single goal: to cross.
Past, Future, Past (Residency Project)
Developed during a month-long residency, this two-channel video installation and sculpture compares physical wandering with the wandering of the mind. It looks at how immigrants search for familiar beauty in new places to feel more at home. While the videos analyze the bridge between past memories and future anxieties, the biological sculpture—made from human hair—acts as a metaphor for the roots and heritage we carry with us across borders. The project investigates how identity stays attached to us even when we are far from home.
