About Image

I collect forgotten fragments - driftwood, old fabric, bark, dry herbs, bones - to breathe new life into them, turning them into artifacts of memory. My work exists between forest and home, between myth and reality, carrying the spirit of Slavic folklore, pagan rituals, and ancestral traditions.

These are not just objects - they are totems, talismans, protective symbols infused with stories of forgotten grandmothers and grandfathers, whispers of the forest, traces of old rituals. I am inspired by Slavic mythology, tales of witches, wise elders, forest spirits, and ancient sorcery passed down through generations.

Every piece I create is a relic — a handmade ritual object, raw and honest, carrying the marks of time and nature. Driftwood becomes faces, fabric transforms into talismans, roots and branches form symbols of lost clans. Through my work, I reconnect with the forgotten past - with the earth, with ancestral spirits, with the wild unknown.

This is a space where the forest is alive - dark, mysterious, filled with omens. Where every knot of wood, every rough edge of bark carries myth, fear, and strength. My creations are for those who feel the bloodline calling, who sense the roots beneath their feet, and who long for the ancient world hidden beneath the surface.
