You. Yours. Between

You. Yours. Between is a series about the power of language as a space of diplomacy between people and nations. Words are often the first instrument of contact — the first gesture of approach and the first attempt to understand one another. A word can wound, but it can also connect. It can escalate a conflict or help resolve it.

The three works form a sequence of relationship: you as an act of addressing and recognizing the other; yours as a gesture of trust and connection; between as the space where dialogue becomes possible.

Poems written in Ukrainian, English, and Catalan appear on the bodies of the figures. Language becomes part of the body, and the body becomes a bearer of words. A layer of epoxy resin covers the surface, preserving these words as if under water — like memory and lived experience, like something that remains.

This series reflects on the possibility of agreement — on how, even in a state of “in-between,” between people, languages, and countries, words remain a tool for understanding. The works were exhibited at a cultural center in Barcelona.

Medium: mixed media, acrylic, ink, epoxy resin on canvas. Framed in black.
