FRAGILE

MAD Gallery, Poznań, Poland

2025

In FRAGILE the body is a vessel that can break. Wounds, bandages, bruises and scars form the visual language of the works. Trauma stays written into the material long after the event. Healing here has no end point: it moves back and forth and stays unfinished. Fragility becomes a way of enduring.

Part of the form has been cut away. What remains is the wound: the place where my life in Belarus was severed when I was forced to leave, and where the shared Belarusian experience of violent separation sits. Like a body, the plaster and resin keep the memory of the rupture. The cut is also an opening, the place where a new, mixed identity begins.
