"Closer" describes the author's behavior and experiences in the last 2 years of living in Ukraine. Life seems to have stopped, so as not to get hurt, you try to freeze until everything falls into place. Also, this series is about trying to eliminate the feeling of loneliness, which is intensifying. Be closer to yourself, your partner, everything beautiful, and great.

The belief that closeness can protect, give a feeling of the womb, merging with the world, and bring a safe role of an observer.

Incomplete presence is a work built on the idea of suppressed anxiety. When you cannot keep your mind in a relaxed or focused state and thoughts about insecurity always accompany you in the background. It expresses the decision to hide, the inability to take even an observer part.

The heroes of this series are young people from Dnipro. Students, artists, engineers, volunteers, mothers, happily married, and happily single merge into a collective masked figure in hibernation. Everyone expects a way out of it and does everything possible to make it happen.
