Oleksandra Fesenko (UA)

Oleksandra Fesenko is a visual artist who merges analog and digital media to explore themes of identity, gender, and the human connection to nature. Grounded in painting and sculpture, her work includes textiles, tufting, biomaterials, print, and film.

She incorporates text as a visual element, weaving deep narratives that reflect emotional states and draw on the myths and symbols of her cultural heritage, creating works that resonate with personal and collective meaning.

Today’s wars affect not only cities and battlefields, but leave a deep mark on the inner world of those who are forced to leave their homeland. In this context, the native landscape turns into a carrier of cultural code and inner resilience.

Through the interviews, the film portrays personal ties with the home landscapes. It is dedicated to the forced separation of Ukrainians from their native land due to the russian annexation in 2014 and the full-scale invasion in 2022.
