From the wrong side

February 2022 marked the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Eight years after the clashes in Maidan Square, both sides are reorganizing to maintain control over the territories. This project tries to bring attention back to the victims and to facts and contents exposed in a neutral way.

This ongoing project is a visual commentary on the effects of human behavior on our oceans and seas. Each "wave" is sculpted from recycled materials, most notably plastic garbage bags. My objective is to benefit nonprofits devoted to water conservation through gallery print and book sales.
