"Branches to the Open Sky" is part of the series "A Tree of Great Height That Stands Amid the Land" (2022).

The series began to take shape in Ukraine in the spring of 2022, during the peak of the most harrowing events of the full-scale invasion. The silhouettes of broken trees scattered throughout the city constantly evoked wounds and remnants of the human body. Yet, as spring intervened, it initiated a process of renewal—some of those shattered trees, with their mangled branches, began to sprout young shoots and leaves. This sight instilled a sense of hope that we, too, could eventually be reborn. That hope helped us endure the pain of the world's fragility and cope with both personal and collective tragedy.

"Wounds bleed on the branches of a great tree—inflicted either by bullets or by nails that pierce through its flesh. These wounds ache, inflame, and heal, this unending cycle repeats itself over and over again. Wounds are suffering trapped in an endless loop of horror and hope, circling within the impossibility of fully grasping a twisted reality. At times, you grow accustomed to the pain, and it seems as though the wounds are healing — but then, once again, you feel the ache in your body."

*This text was written for the tour of the solo-duo exhibition "Breach. Episode I" at Imagine Point, Kyiv, 2023. The next part of the exhibition, "Breach. Episode II," took place immediately after the first one at the M17 Contemporary Art Center, Kyiv, 2023.
