Saving Memory - Ceramics are probably the oldest and most durable storage medium. Ceramic objects can survive thousands of years of various storms, they will survive fire. The resulting records of photography in ceramic material are small A5 tiles carrying visual information about this extremely cruelty against Ukrainians,
Double Destruction / The project uses one of the most noble and damage-resistant ceramic materials - porcelain. Various ceramic techniques were used such as mosaic, serigraphy, photography, kintsugi. Kintsugi is an intention of putting all back together what once has been physically broken and highlghting the scars with gold. The photographs of destroyed Ukraine are printed on fire damaged, deformed ceramic tiles.
Art Sale For Ukraine is our aim to support and save lives and the memory of our Ukrainian friends.
Remember Crimea is Ukraine.
Let’s keep supporting Ukraine!
Slava Ukraini!
