Paparać Kvietka/Fern Flower
Solo-exhibition. Athens, Greece (2023)
















In Belarusian folklore, the fern flower is a mythical plant known to bloom for a single moment on Kupala Night, granting the ability to see what is hidden. To reach it, one must enter the forest alone and resist fear without turning back. The installation builds a spatial situation based on this structure. Aluminum flowers, water, sound, light, and masks form an environment where elements appear unstable and partially transformed. Developed during a period of living abroad, the work engages with the experience of migration and the search for a sense of home. The unfamiliar landscape contrasts with remembered environments, introducing distance, disorientation, and a persistent pull toward return. The work draws on this condition to construct a space of search and tension, where something may be found, but never fully secured.
