My work grows from a state that exists between waking and dreaming — a space where reality doesn’t split into “here” and “there,” but moves as a single, layered field. In Russian, сон and мечта are separate ideas — the sleeping dream and the dream you long for. English merges them into dream, and that merging mirrors the way I experience consciousness: as one continuous fabric of thought, vision, memory, and intuition.

I’ve had vivid, hyperreal dreams since childhood — dreams that often come true — and this dream-state became my native way of perceiving the world. I don’t treat dreaming as escape but as a method: a nonlinear mode of attention where meaning appears through symbols, accidents, and strange details inside ordinary things.
As an artist, I work with this seam between states of being. I explore how images can act as portals — shifting our sense of time, dissolving linearity, revealing what is usually hidden under logic or narrative.

My practice moves across poetry, painting, analog photography, and objects. Each medium allows me to trace the same phenomenon: how the invisible structure of experience becomes visible for a moment, like light on the surface of a dream.

I’m interested in the places where consciousness folds: where memory becomes landscape, where intuition becomes form, where the imagined speaks as clearly as the real. My works are not representations of dreams, but their extensions — attempts to inhabit that state where perception is porous and time is simultaneous.
For me, dreaming isn’t something that happens at night. It’s the underlying condition of reality. And my art is the record of how that condition reveals itself.
