Inevitably, challenges come along our way. You either deal with them or hide. People “build” some spaces for themselves in an attempt to hide from problems. It is comfortable for us to be in these spaces, because there is no need to face the difficulties. These places are “Shelters”. Dissolving in a “self-built” shelter, we stop solving the tasks. We begin to blame the objects/subjects of our shelter for our own failures. Thus, we completely disclaim our responsibility. We begin to feel this safe place as something limits us. That is why so many objects in the space of my "shelter" are in a position that restricts movement. And the central wooden structure appeals to a cage. I share my project, where I asked myself the question: how can something as valuable as a family or an academy feel like a barrier. I thought of the design of my project as a metaphor of "shelter". The academy and family systems have been "shelter" for me for a long time. I represent the system of the Academy through the space itself (the academy studio); oil academic works stitched into a single canvas; tablets for drawing. I portray the family system through the symbol of an old family yacht. For me, this is a special collective symbol. I exhibit the family system through video recordings of live conversations; images of loved ones on the picturesque part of the project; yacht details; audio composition of sounds ... The entire wooden structure is also a direct extension of the shelving system that students build from beams and planks in the workshops at the academy. And, at the same time, the design resembles the internal structure of a yacht. It is important that I limit myself by my own. I literally, with my own hands, build the entire structure in order to convey the atmosphere of a self-built “shelter”. Anything can become a "shelter" space. Only honesty and responsibility are important. The audio part was created by musician Valentin Panasyuk. An important detail of the project is that on the day of the presentation, I exited two systems: the Academy - through my graduation; and my parents' family - through my marriage.
