Artist Statement
My work explores how war ruins our basic human values and resets our moral growth. My aim is to reconnect people through empathy and push back against the habit of staying silent. Art is my way of speaking out, because when we turn a blind eye to suffering, we become part of the problem.

Description: On June 6, 2023, the Russian military blew up the Kakhovka Dam. Floods submerged 80 settlements, including Kherson, disrupting the water supply for over one million people across four regions and endangering their primary future source of fresh water. Furthermore, by eliminating the reactor cooling water for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, it created the risk of a new Chernobyl disaster. As the dam waters receded, the remains of World War II German soldiers were exposed on the floor of the Kakhovka Reservoir. This situation was conceptualized as a physical trace where historical and contemporary destructions intersect. A helmeted skull form rising from a concrete mass brings together the devastation of today and the remains of the past on a single surface. By consolidating past and present violence into one body, the work makes the generational wreckage of war visible, serving as a reminder that war is a recurring sediment that accumulates on humanity through time.
