"Family memory glitch", 2022
The artwork demonstrates the opposition between remembrance and occasional oblivion. It was based on the scanned archives of the artist's family, which were stored on the flash drive for many years. When the author returned to them, all the files were damaged, in this exact way, they were combined into a zine publication, which once again becomes an attempt to preserve memories, that are already half-lost. Thus, family memory appears to be an unprotected substance, that should be constantly protected from natural disasters and political catastrophes, and even more from the media that are supposed to protect it.
