Integration, 2017
Found object, 80x10x55 cm
What does it mean to be integrated in the new society, country, culture? Is this possible? How many chances do you have? How many obstacles and boundaries I had left behind when I received German residence permit? Will I change my Ukrainian passport against better social conditions in Germany? After two years I still don’t know the answers to these questions. I am living between two countries, trying not to lose my Ukrainian identity and gain new experience in this strange land.
The first time I saw at the place of my new residency were the trees that grew into the metal fence. There is no difference between me and these trees now. We both are trying to overcome the fence.
