Write my name on a dancing cloud

2022

A reflection on the cyclical nature of time and the experience of its endless circulation through reference to natural cycles—the daily and annual.
Its two parts were shown successively in Moscow and Athens.
The first part was based on the image of the daily cycle as a symbol of the constant and most visible cycle of time and the recurrence of processes.

The second part, completed in Greece, was connected to the annual cycle. Thanks to daily watering of a lifeless plot of land for a month, morning glory flowers appeared and spread throughout the garden. They became an integral part of the project and found their place in pencil drawings on marble slabs, contrasting their fragility and temporary nature with the hard, cold, and almost eternal stone.
