Zaremba Olha
Each work in the “Through Nature” series is an allegory of hiding from reality, using anthropomorphism and escapism as an escape plan from the fatal truth. The artist uses the impression of the area as a world of safe illusions through the mythology of which there is contact with her past and present experience.
Anthropological objects have iconographic hints, some of the works have a rehearsed character, reminiscent of a person’s attempt to swim out of a funnel in a circle in order to save himself from complete disappearance in the dark. Thus, this story is like a secret letter from a person whose country and consciousness were occupied by an aggressive war and terrorism.
Olha Zaremba was born in 1994.
