Olesya Lavrinenko explores themes of the mystical and irrational. In her works, the artist creates situations where impressions of a half-forgotten, incorrectly remembered, or imagined past intersect, existing on the edge of memory and nostalgia, where ideas of folklore, the unknown, science fiction, and the supernatural intertwine.
The artist is interested in interaction with contemporary science and philosophy, which resonate with the mystical and irrational. In her works, Olesya examines how our physical bodies are connected to the digital world in the context of intense technological and social changes. The artist also works with the phenomenon of anticipation and the feeling of anxiety, which concern universal human behavior.
