The still life installation made up of white fruits and vegetables, created using mixed techniques — needle felt and ceramic. The work was inspired by childhood memories of the artist at her grandmother’s house, where she spent her summer vacations, and a dream that was never fulfilled to visit this place in the winter.
The artist works with stable associations of winter connected with snow, and the snow that connects with purity and freshness. In this work, she looks at purity as a lack of information. Like objects after washing, from which a part of the person who held them has been removed; there are no stains that can tell about the owner, nor any personal scent. Nothing. Only freshness and purity.
In the artist’s works, fruits and vegetables are emotional triggers for different memories from her life, traditions, and cultural codes. When the author "washing" the fruits and vegetables from their usual colors, she partially loses this information. The loss of memories allows her to focus on the tangible categories. She combined two contrasting media — wool and pottery — in one object. It allows to simultaneously feel the warmth and softness of the wool and the smooth, cold surface of the ceramic. Thus she tries to listen to her inner feelings, to her heart.
The artist imagines how this place could have looked in the winter and what emotions it could have evoked in her — would she have liked it, or would it have disappointed her? What answer is the artist seeking? There is no good without evil, no light without darkness, memory is important, not its absence.
