Пупок

The work was created as part of the Art Camp Vasenthien artist residency in Germany in 2022, on the given theme of "Freedom". Under the influence of the experiences of the girls from the camp who are originally from Ukraine and Belarus, the given concept of freedom is redefined as freedom of choice and freedom of life. The fragile shell of the egg protects the possibility of life inside it, and the cut umbilical cord emphasizes the beginning of life outside it. The freedom to redefine our purpose regardless of our biological predestination to procreate is a key aspect of free will that implies self-restraint, without negating the freedom of another.
