Eva Fomitski

Triptych Installation:
glass, concrete, photographs.

Part of the "SPIL'NYY KOD" project; 2023.

 

This installation reflects my contemplations on the symbolic constructs of societal traumas, and how they have united various generations of people, shaping the collective identity of a specific nation.Unprocessed collective trauma, which society has not come to terms with, can impact the psychology of distant descendants and evolve into a set of specific, unconscious traditions and customs that persist in the consciousness of future generations and influence the continued development of culture and society.

To me, the mirror serves as a symbol that, as I gaze upon my relatives with their complex destinies, I see my own reflection and undergo the same history as they do.
