After Reality Changed Irreversibly… brings together two works that emerged as an immediate emotional response to the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. At that moment, the personal diary ceased to be merely a space for private experiences — history suddenly entered it.

In the first work, the familiar space seems to be torn apart by an impulse: form loses its balance, becomes concentrated, and moves through a cold field. In the second, the intensity of the initial shock gives way to a state of awareness — a distorted structure remains alone within an almost silent, golden space.

These works do not depict war itself. They are traces of the moment when war enters the inner world and transforms the way reality is experienced.
