New work that developed during my last residency.

This photograph I made early last year, close to a town by the name of Gładyszów (Ґлaдишiв). A place that has been known to have seen tremendous amounts of fights between communist and partisan troops throughout the years. When I look at this photograph today I don’t find myself ruminating however, grieving over the fact of yet another European tribe slaughtering another and the other way around. I find that it actually brings me comfort knowing that against all odds we might just be able to draw conclusions from history — with Poland and Ukraine maybe standing together stronger than ever against the Russian invasion.

Zubrzyca Górna, 2021.

Going through the archive from Ukraine this year, Lviv and Kulchytsi.

Very much looking forward to this and today’s vernissage. Incredibly thankful for the opportunity to curate a show I partake in as well. That’s a first for me — representing artists from Ukraine and the US is equally so. On a side note: Very pleased with how the screen printed posters came out. Cannot remember the last time when I have been so satisfied with the outcome of a poster I made.
