Athletes of Art in Milan

Dariia Tsarenko and I were included in Athletes of Art in Milan, an international exhibition project connecting artists from Ukraine and Italy as part of the cultural program surrounding Milano Cortina 2026.

Our collaborative work, PAVUK: Lichtarchitektur der Erneuerung, transforms the traditional Ukrainian Pawuk into a contemporary spatial installation. Built from recycled paper based tubes and reclaimed textile materials, the piece brings fragile geometry, light, and suspended pom poms into dialogue with themes of protection, renewal, memory, and cultural continuity.

The larger project brought together more than 80 artists and over 120 artworks, forming a living exchange between Ukraine and Italy and showing how art can remain a space for courage, connection, and resistance.

Kinder sind die Zukunft

On 15.03.2026 we gathered in Düsseldorf for a benefit concert supporting children in Fukushima.

The event supported the Setouchi Austauschprojekt, which provides restorative stays for children still living with the long term effects of the Fukushima catastrophe.

Live music came from Omajinai Band and Maki Masamoto. The program also included performances by Florian Erhard and Joseph Martine.

It was a warm and meaningful afternoon at Ackerstraße 67, 40233 Düsseldorf , bringing people together through music, art, and shared support for a beautiful cause.

Set against the museum’s historic backdrop, the work explored the interaction between people, art, and nature. Passersby were invited to participate, turning the installation into a shared experience — a transaction of collective energy shaped through touch and movement. What began as a playful gesture evolved into a meditation in motion, awakening curiosity, presence, and the inner child within each participant.
