Wardrobes

‘Wardrobe’ is a series of objects and portraits inspired by Uzbek dowry and women artisans. Huge still lives of furniture pieces, wrapped in fabrics hand-painted by my grandmother or printed fabrics she developed while working as the chief fabric designer at the local silk factory. "I wanted to visually measure human life. I traveled across Uzbekistan last summer, I was really interested in dowry tradition, it looks like huge fairy wardrobes with traditional embroidered fabrics and once, after my grandmother’s long move from Uzbekistan to Moscow, I packed all my things in an apartment in Moscow and created the first still life, wrapping all things in my grandmother’s fabrics."
