(un)reality of safe haven
Set of post-/prompt cards

Two colour riso printing, papercutting
180 copies
2025

This project activates my year of postgraduate research, turning to Ukrainian folk art as a method of home-making in displacement and migration. The set of 7 postcards draws on archives of Ukrainian folk art and my personal displacement-related archival imagery, highlighting various aspects of memory and home-making.

Golden ink overlays came as a result of a printing experiment: scattered and fragmented, they reflect the nature of memories.
