Olena Dvukhhlavova

In my art practice, I explore human relationships with nature and societal power structures. As a Ukrainian, I carry a deep awareness of post-colonial trauma and ancestral memory, a sense of both confinement and the freedom of the soul. My work focuses on both the fragility and strength of the human body. I often collaborate with friends and loved ones as models, making the creative process deeply personal. Through this intimate approach, I aim to uncover the therapeutic power of art — a power I hope resonates with and touches those who experience my work.
