My work emerges from a space of cultural inheritance, responsibility, and the complexities of preservation, passed down from my Ukrainian parents and grandparents. I work with vintage patterns, found fabrics, and unfinished embroidery—artifacts that reveal women’s labor, the quiet persistence of making by hand, and the symbolism of resistance. Found images of female archetypes from my childhood convey resilience, femininity, and a—perhaps unattainable—ideal. This work is also a meditation on motherhood and cultural continuity. I grapple with how to pass down a culture that feels slippery, urgent, yet fiercely alive.
