The Rhythm is a response to the feelings of pain, guilt, anger, fear, frustration, crushed hopes, and absolute disagreement with the ongoing war. The modular kinetic acoustic installation consists of a set of boxes containing rabbits repeatedly banging their heads against the wall. The rabbits are programmed to bang their heads at different rates, thus creating an ambience of frustration and a rhythm that can never quite be predicted. The Rhythm was …

It was hard to breathe, and for a week after that I found myself regularly having to instruct myself: “breathe in” – walk three steps – “breathe out” – walk three steps – and again over and over. That day a big lump of pain appeared …

But I only printed these a week or so later when my first run was out. They had the same words as the first rabbit pair from the start, but by the time I was printing them, those words had …

I spent the first half of the first day of the war at the migration services office helping a friend get his temporary registration in St. Petersburg. I sketched these guys while waiting in line for five hours because I knew I’d need stickers for the evening’s protest.

I started this sticker pack almost a year ago, in September 2020, as a present for my dad’s birthday. I had been listening to Sasha Sokolov’s “A School for Fools” on my dad’s recommendation, and we had been talking about the book a lot, quoting bits back and forth and enjoying the way the words were put together. You can find the Telegram version of the sticker pack here.
