With this picture, I want to draw people's attention to the problem of refugees and tell a few stories of people, including my own, who were forced to leave their homes and leave all their belongings and their memories, fleeing from war, political regimes and cataclysms. The central figure of my work is a four-legged woman, symbolizing the very concept of emigration - always on her feet, always in motion, always ready to run further. Tomographic images are the very process of emigration - and this is our diagnosis. In the area of the female womb - a symbol of birth and prosperity, I placed a photo of the brilliant Armenian artist and director - Sergei Parajanov. He suffered a lot in his life, but he wrote: "I will avenge this world with love." This is all that is left for us so that we do not lose our humanity and the ability to create - to “revenge” this world with our love. The head of the central black figure is a map of Armenia - since my arrival here, this country has become a huge part of my life path. The hair of the central figure turns into a refugee girl who drags the shadow of her memory behind her on a rope. Her memory pulls her home and she will probably never be able to get rid of it. And this barefoot woman in a black shawl will be attached all her life to the image of the house in which she lived and the tree that she planted. The figure sitting back with his head down is the image of a man who has to give up everything right now and run away. He has a black hole in his soul, his life has just cracked. This is symbolized by a black vinyl record with a single song on it - "Home". The stork is a symbol of migration (as well as a bird symbol of Ukraine), it flies away and creates a road in the “from” direction. A man's figure that the stork picks up with its paws is the image of our hearts.

Initially, she obtained a degree in design and architecture but later chose to develop as an artist because she always felt much more drawn to this craft. Her work revolves around important social and philosophical issues such as war, emigration, the role of volunteers, refugee life, environmental issues, and issues faced by women in a patriarchal society. She also loves creating figurative artworks dedicated to human diversity, inclusivity, and inner strength. Her pieces depict people of all genders, ages, races, and social statuses. Kateryna prefers to create her works in mixed media with oils and acrylics.
