This series of linocuts explores the fragile space where cultural memory, mythology, and historical violence intersect. Drawing on Ukrainian folklore, oral tradition, and suppressed narratives, the works examine identity as a process shaped not only by preservation, but also by erasure.
Recurring figures of women, warriors, ritual bodies, and mythological beings emerge throughout the series as vessels of collective memory. The carved surface becomes both an archive and a scar: each mark records the tension between visibility and disappearance, memory and imposed silence.
Rather than illustrating history literally, the works approach it as something embodied and inherited — present in language, gestures, landscape, and ritual. Through the physical act of carving, the series reclaims fragments of cultural memory that political systems have sought to distort, marginalize, or erase.
