Don’t Think That I Am Pushing You Away




Vent Space, Estonia


The title of my solo exhibition Don’t think that I am pushing you away is reflecting my emotional feelings based on the changing relationship between me and my roommate during the period of 14 days of quarantine in a student dormitory. The exhibition shows mainly with a video installation that I made during the isolation in my bedroom. The videos reflect my personal struggles of emotion such as sadness, emptiness, distancing which also brought me a new perspective of knowing myself.

Wet Hearts Of Everyday Thoughts





Gallery Mihhail, Estonia


The starting point of the group exhibition Wet Hearts of Everyday Thoughts is, on the one hand, environmentally conscious gratitude for bodies of water as diverse habitats. On the other hand, the initial impulse of the exhibition is the posthumanist understanding of humans as aqueous beings whose life is dependent on water from birth to death. The exhibition brings together five artists whose works are linked by a common image—all of the works use a certain body of water or other liquid, in order to refer to personal thoughts and feelings related to various aspects of self-care, such as coping with emotional difficulties, pleasures, everyday rituals, and the embodied experience. The works on display talk about the relationship with oneself, one’s collective and the environment, and point out ways to make sense of one’s relationship with other living beings and bodies of water.
