Exhibition Statement

Georgia and Anastasiya’s collaborative exhibition unfolds as a dialogue between presence and absence, figure and space, interior and exterior. While Anastasiya isolates the human form, rendering figures untethered from context, Georgia turns toward the environments that remain, tracing the quiet imprints of lived experience. Each body of work stands independently, yet together they create a reciprocal relationship in which absence becomes legible through presence, and presence gains meaning through what is missing.

Georgia’s charcoal drawings and paintings focus on light as both subject and metaphor. Returning to spaces once called home, she captures fleeting reflections filtered through windows and objects, transforming interiors into vessels for perception and memory. Her works emphasize stillness, presenting spaces as containers of human presence rather than depicting figures themselves.

Anastasiya’s sculptures extend this inquiry into the human form, exploring the boundary between body and environment. Her metal-like clay figures appear abstract and voluminous, with smooth, water-like surfaces contrasting the material’s hardness. These forms suggest empathy and the tension between sensitivity and resilience, as figures seem both grounded and dissolving.

Together, their works question what remains when people leave and how presence lingers in absence. Dwelling in a liminal space, empty yet warm, the exhibition invites viewers to pause, observe, and reflect on what lingers within spaces and within ourselves.
