01. Territory and Cultural Memory
The Izrazets is one of the recognizable motifs of Yaroslavl’s decorative heritage. In my project, which focuses on the Zavolzhye region, it becomes a small, tangible vessel of the place’s history. It was important to me not simply replicate a past ornament, but to create a contemporary object that conveys local narratives, handmade craftsmanship, and ceramic texture.
02. Three Stories—One Collection
The «History of the Volga Region» series unites three separate narratives. The Romanov coat of arms and the road line reference historical routes and the memory of the territory. The hare is associated with the local natural imagery and toponymic associations. The cornflower becomes a botanical motif through which the rhythm, silhouette, and plasticity of the terrain are explored. All three compositions are developed as interconnected yet independent tiles.
Of the three conceived concepts, only one—"Cornflower"—has been physically realized. The others are presented as sketches and visualizations.
03. From Line to Relief
