Photo printing on chiffon, photo printing, sound art, ceramics
A portrait of a bedroom community through hyperfixation on its elements:
- Laundry on the clotheslines of Yerevan in the series "Reciprocity";
- Snow and its spring secrets in the series "All that will be left";
- The sound art piece "Voice of the Street", featuring recorded sounds from the open window of my apartment;
- “Hidden” - series of documentary ceramic bas‑reliefs depicting scenes of everyday life, where wood/trees take centre stage as a companion to humans in daily routines.
By creating thematically separated spaces, I want to immerse the viewer in the feeling of a catalogued reality.
By creating thematically distinct spaces, I want to immerse the viewer in a sense of cataloged reality, which is characteristic of neurodivergent people.

Photo print on chiffon, installation
In Yerevan’s residential districts, clotheslines are strung between apartment buildings.
What does this say about the community and its openness?
- We don't know each other, but let's stretch a rope between our windows and hang our most intimate things on it?
- …
- Yes, we don't know each other, but this wind blows freely and teases us. It's ready to dispel all our secrets.
- …
- Let's not be afraid? Just imagine what we could do if we stopped being afraid of honesty!
- …
- Let's be sraight, let's be honest?
- …
- Let's? Now then!

Photo print, installation
March 2026.
I walk from my home to the metro and photograph everything I see along my way: dirty snow, beer bottles, banana peels, patches of thaw revealing a mix of yellow grass and de‑icing agents, and last year’s maple seeds. The journey takes 30 minutes.
Spring arrives in the Moscow with grey‑brown hues and unlocked of secrets, stories without tongue.

Ceramic bas-reliefs and ceramic vases
A series of documentary ceramic bas‑reliefs and vases depicting scenes where trees take centre stage as companions to humans in urban daily life.
The ceramics portray my personal stories: my son and his friend playing their favourite game among the branches, the windows of my home seen through the patterns of tree, abandoned cars. All the scenes are drawn from everyday life and united by the presence of trees.
