The "Illusion of Presence" series is about the current time of breaking ties with relatives. War forces close people to separate. Then mobile

messengers become the only channel for communication.

The format of these graphic works corresponds to the format of my smartphone, from which I call my family every day.

I live between Odesa and Berlin, while my whole family is in Odesa. During the last two years that I have been living in Berlin, my family has not been able to attend my exhibitions. At this exhibition, they are with me, at least in my works.
