Point A is a mixed-media project, which explores migration, memory, place and origin, via installation, sculpture, video, painting and performance. The project employs the notion of play and material experimentation, as a transformative, innovative and soothing gesture at the time of “war at home”. By excavating personal archives and my own childhood memories of growing up in Ukraine, I reimagine and reconstruct fragments of places and objects, which I inhabited and possessed as a child and a young woman.
