The Inner Crossroads is a solo exhibition of Ukrainian artist Yaroslava Khomenko. In her new body of works she builds the conversation about memory, landscapes, archives, and the personal amid nomadic turbulence.
The exhibition opens with a sculptural figure: a human-like figure in a black dress made from 50 recycled T-shirts. This image is an ode to the artist's pre-war life with its subjectively pompous self-presentation, but, as it turned out, a misunderstanding of herself. It is an act of internal deconstruction, catharsis of the body and self-perception.
The Crossroad is a series based on Iphone's photos from the personal artist's archive. Compressed images depict places where she has stayed since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The composition of landscapes is united by a continuous horizon - fragmented memories of places that flow into one another like a journey in a dream. Considering her painful codependency with Kyiv, the loss of a sense of home manifests itself in the artist in the form of piercing pain. This series captures the moment of accepting a state of dissociation and being at a crossroads of uncertainty.
The Inner Crossroads functions as a poetic journey through time and space over the last four years of the artist's life and is her first public personal confession. The goal of this journey is not to return to pre-war stability, but to fully accept instability as a new reality.
