Elena Tur'yanska. Agape. Absolute Love
7The project by Ukrainian artist Elena Tur'yanska consists of her works from 2023-2024. Through her art, the artist captures her own memories and those of others about the events currently experienced by every Ukrainian. Thus, all presented works are infused with personal emotions.
In creating her pieces, the artist utilized both traditional graphic materials and non-artistic ones, such as construction materials (wallpaper, rubber paint, etc.). This was done to convey the contrast between the durability of materials and the uncertainty of memory and recollections, which are closely associated with the concepts of "restoration" and "recovery."
