In February 2022, I left Kyiv when the war broke out. Over the following year, I moved from one temporary home to another — staying a week in some places, a month or two in others. In my memory, these rooms began to overlap, forming a generalized image of my new home and of a new reality as a whole.

This experience inspired the series Floor Plan. Photographs of the temporary spaces I inhabited — both in Ukraine and abroad — became building blocks for a new, imagined home. Fragments from those interiors are assembled into images titled Bedroom, Children’s Room, Kitchen, and more. Together, they form a metaphorical floor plan of the apartment I left behind in February.

The oversaturated colors reflect heightened emotions and the surreal atmosphere of those months.

Each collage carries a dual title:

Bedroom / Morning of February 24th
Children’s Room / First Missile Strike
Kitchen / “Fire!” from Gazprom
Corridor / Under-the-Carpet Games
Bathroom / Red (Nuclear) Button
Guest Room / Furnace of War
Landscape / Burning
