2021
Participated in the contemporary art studio Episode at Ozero Gallery (St. Petersburg). At the final group exhibition, I presented project "Body. Comic as Art" which became a graphic reconceptualization of my depersonalization syndrome. With this same project, I participated in the Art Weekend program of the Curatorial Forum 2021 and the anti-exhibition on the platform “The Space of Physicality”.

2022
Participated in the ProfessionART educational project for artists with disabilities supported by the Museum of Nonconformist Art, Pushkinskaya-10 Art Center and Indiana University in Bloomington, USA. At the end of the program a film “I am BODY” was released, which tells about the participants of the program.
Participant of the collective exhibition “This Moment...” as part of the ProfessionART project with the art research “I am BODY” at Pushkinskaya-10 Art Center, Fall 2022.

2024
At the collective exhibition “RE:VIEW” at Pushkinskaya-10 art center, I presented an installation-labyrinth created with the participation of sound-artist Vitaly Diventsov and composer Ilya Symphocat. The title of the work is “WE ARE BODY”, which continues the art research conducted at Pushkinskaya-10 in 2022. In the new installation, viewers were treated to an audiovisual immersion into the history of archetypes of female corporeality. For the exhibition, I created 13 archetypal images of women, referring to the history of art and mythology of the world, on fabric canvases. January-March 2024.

Participated in the IV Biennale of Book Graphics and Illustration “Book as Art” with illustrations from the books “Where Do Letters Come From” and “Weddings of the World”. The exhibition is organized with the support of the Pushkin State Central Library and the Russian Museum. September-October 2024.
“I work with the boundaries of the body, with physicality and breaking down its perception.”

— My work is often dedicated to the body as the subject of study in art. Together with my viewer, I become acquainted with my body, as for me it is an unexplored realm, just as it is for an outside observer. Right now I am focusing on studying the syndromes of depersonalization and derealization. I work with graphic media, but I am contemplating about taking it to the next level—dimension, installation, or performance.
