"...the screen becomes a place where reality can mutate. Images collide with memories, digital objects acquire impossible textures, fragments of personal experience coexist with visual codes circulating across the internet. The polished meets the accidental; the intimate meets the hyperreal; nostalgia is pulled out of chronology and dropped back into the present."
✷ I was invited by RED•EYE Magazine to create an original artwork inspired by the return of the Nike Air Max Dolce, more than 20 years after its original release.
I approached the project through memory, nostalgia, togetherness and humour, building a fragmented world inspired by my childhood in Belarus and early-2000s digital culture. The iconic shoe becomes part of that world, intertwined with fragments of the past. A familiar object resurfaces years later, looked at with a completely different brain.
