Most people's brains receive 60 to 70% of information through the visual system.
But looking does not mean seeing.
I embroidered the word “SEE” in Braille—a dot under each cross. The combination of dots = a letter.
I embroidered with a cross stitch, as if playing “battleship” — a game played blindfolded. This is how most people perceive the world — the blind cannot see physically, and the sighted do not notice in the huge flow of visual noise.

Relocation from Russia to Serbia, longing for my parents and home, forced separation from professional projects in Russia, lack of contacts and work in Serbia - all this greatly affected my emotional state, and anxiety intensified. I have to fight depression again.
I painted my next self-portrait, a portrait of my state of mind.

The form is inspired by the work of Mark Rothko, who explored the effect of color on the viewer. But the content is emigration-inspiring.
The crumpled paper reminds me of the topography of a continent on a map. Geography in general has expanded very suddenly. New countries, flights, rented flats. 
One paper house after another. I packed a suitcase and moved on, and I could not take anything with me. And I want to close myself in my own walls, to cover myself with beloved things and not get out.
I want to be in my own house and not in this.

My husband calms me, he says that home is where we are. But I think that home is where you are.

The series “1 Month and 2 Days,” written on March 26, 2022—the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine—is the first attempt to understand the events unfolding and sublimate the situation.
The series is about the feeling of duality in the world—the contrasts of the external world and the division of one's own consciousness under the influence of traumatic experiences.

Diptych 1. “Left” (written with the right hand)
Paper, acrylic, 21x28.8 cm, 2022.

The graphic works “Pair 1” and “Pair 2” are a metaphor for the “split brain” effect. The essence of the effect is the loss of informational connection between the two hemispheres of the brain as a result of their physical separation (corpus callosum sectioning), as a result of which each hemisphere possesses only its own volume of data and has its own will and consciousness.

I tried to “separate” my own brain hemispheres by consciously performing the first part with my right hand, striving to maximize the use of the left hemisphere of the brain (the “left” parts of the pairs).
To “activate” the right hemisphere of the brain, I meditated, worked with my left hand, and partially closed my eyes, trying to disconnect control as much as possible — this is how the “right” parts of the pairs were created.
