« City as an Object »

This series begins with a shift in focus — away from grand landmarks and toward the overlooked surfaces that define a city’s quiet identity. Cracked walls, layered posters, accidental textures, and forgotten corners become visual markers of urban memory. Each frame isolates a fragment of the city’s skin, inviting the viewer to see familiar places not as backdrops, but as active objects — sculptural, expressive, and temporal. In treating Kharkiv city as both archive and artifact, the series opens up a new visual archaeology of place: one built not on icons, but on intimacy.
