The Catcher of Memories
The sculpture represents the struggle against Alzheimer's disease. Here, an elderly man chases fleeting past and catches the fireflies of memory: mythical creatures that mirror reality and stimulate neurons, unfolding the hidden treasures of bygone times. The figure stands on a relief pedestal — the embodiment of the mind’s labyrinths. Its chromed surface captures light and reflects the silhouettes of viewers, gently inviting them to recall their own joyful moments.
Taras Zheltyshev (Taras Yoom) is an international multidisciplinary artist and designer, the creator of the Yoomoota art universe, and a participant in major exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the United States. His approach to collectible design merges the organic and the artificial, exploring the human condition and its relationship with the world through his signature style of biomorphic surrealism. Combining original techniques and symbolic thinking, Zheltyshev constructs a fantastical universe where functional objects become tools for investigating all dimensions of human experience — from physiology to emotional states and the perception of reality.
Beginning his creative journey in the field of object and collectible design, he has received international acclaim and numerous professional honors, including the A’ Design Award, International Design Awards, Good Design Awards, and recognition from Elle Decoration. He has also developed a parallel body of work in painting and sculpture. His design techniques include custom modeling, metalwork and woodworking, casting and forming, 3D printing, laser cutting, mixed materials, and hand-finishing using textiles, acrylics, and polymers.
Today, Yoomoota objects are part of private collections in Paris, London, Seoul, Brussels, New York, and Moscow, and have been featured in Financial Times, Forbes, Elle Decoration, Designboom, and other leading publications.
