Settling is a body of work that reflects on the fragile coexistence between ordinary domestic life and the realities of survival experienced by civilians in frontline regions of Eastern and Southern Ukraine.

The installation explores how war affects private spaces, routine gestures, and the body both in the immediate moment and long after escape. Repetitive patterns, fading images, stitching, and documentary techniques become gestures of preservation, witnessing, and reconstruction.

The works invite a slow and intimate way of looking — moving between what can be seen, what remains hidden, and what cannot be fully articulated. Rather than depicting war directly, they move through traces, tensions, and unstable borders between visibility and erasure, domesticity and survival, presence and disappearance.

The video and textile works reflect the bodily and domestic dimensions of wartime experience, while the watercolour works on paper evoke its psychological and sensory traces.
