Bucha. Moldavian Sugar Table. Artwork

“Moldavian Sugar” – the artwork made on the black canvas on wood, with sugar sticks stuck on it in some order. The story behind: I have a tradition with my Mom – when I visit some café and order a coffee, I usually take sugar sticks home as far as my Mom loves them to collect. In February-March 2022 my Mom left in Bucha and for 35 days I had no connection with her at all. That period I lived in Chisinau, Moldova, as a refugee with my son. I was collecting sugar sticks every day, freezing my feelings and forbidding myself to think about possible scenarios for her. These sugar sticks collecting... it was like a ritual for me and the division of dense time into conscious intervals. After Bucha's liberation in March 2022, when Ukrainian volunteers came and started helping people in the occupation, I received a first call from my Mom – as a miracle - she was alive, despite all horrible actions there and living more than a month without electricity, gas, water and being at the center of the fighting. Every time I come back to these memories, I feel pain and this art just appeared as a chronology of my pain from that period. So, I arranged all the Moldavian sugar I collected that days in this artwork. You could read the names of Chisinau cafes or shops, written on that sugar sticks. The third photo indicates two separate artworks, "Moldavian Sugar" and "Moldavian Carpet", the second one could be sold separately, you could find it in my gallery here also.
