The “Gaps” series continues to explore a two-layered structure, yet the vision of the future here becomes significantly less defined. In the upper layer, isolated oval openings appear—a sort of porthole allowing a glimpse from one reality into another.

A multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, painting, graphics, installation, and performance. He has been a member of the Parasite art group since 2017. He was a resident of the Unconquered-17 workshops (2020–2021), a lighting designer at the AKHE Engineering Theater (2020–2022), and a resident of the Pushkinskaya-10 art center since 2022, following a project competition.

mutates. Sometimes, I mechanically make holes in a canvas—and so it is with us—it turns out that we are torn apart. In

experiments with materials, I reflect general societal tendencies or subjective experiences from

the context in which I find myself. Using atypical means, I express the sensation of social mutations

or paradoxes, exploring the 'collective body.'"
