Gramma’s tablecloth
2022
For the base of this work I took an old tablecloth which was used by my grandmother a long time ago and who lived in Starobilsk (East Ukraine).
It has big holes and a destroyed surface – it is an image of the culture that the occupying country leaves behind. And the embroidery on it it’s a new generation's attempt to revive the history and the culture.

But some parts can no longer be restored and can only be protected from further destruction, by heroes who gave their lives for this and whom I portray with Swarovski crystals.
This project was realized at Schiesslhaus Residency.
