The series “Spatial Composition of Bodies“ is part of an ongoing body of work exploring the experience of forced emigration. It reflects a psychological and physical state of displacement - a condition I navigate personally, and investigate from within, drawing on both my own experience and that of people around me who have found themselves in similar circumstances.
The title Spatial Composition of Bodies deliberately echoes a formal, almost neutral language of structure and arrangement. However, within the works themselves, this “composition” is unstable and unresolved. The bodies do not occupy space with certainty - they slip, collapse, suspend, and fail to fully align with their environment.
The works present metaphorical, surreal figures that embody emotional and bodily states rather than specific individuals. These figures exist in unstable configurations, suspended between positions, unable to fully inhabit their surroundings.
The series focuses on a particular moment within displacement: the phase of uncertainty, when one’s position in a new environment is temporary, unresolved, and fragile. It is a state where there is no clarity - whether the chosen path is right, whether there is a future ahead, or even whether movement is possible.
Should one remain still and wait, or attempt to move forward? And if movement is possible - in which direction, and as whom?
This work does not attempt to resolve these questions. Instead, it dwells within the condition of uncertainty itself - a prolonged moment of suspension, where identity, agency, and direction remain undefined.
