 Identity, Loss and Textile MemoryMy work explores identity shaped by migration, political repression, and exile. After the 2020 protests in Belarus, returning became impossible.Through drawing and textile, I process loss and fragmented belonging. Embroidery—deeply rooted in Belarusian culture—becomes a medium of memory, protest, and cultural resilience. Жыве Беларусь !
