I was born in 1994 in Kyiv, Ukraine; studied piano and singing at the music school, with John Cage's "In a Landscape" as the last performed piece. When finishing school I got introduced into performance art by Janusz Baldyga, and decided to postpone getting higher education and instead take workshops in performance art, physical theater, extended vocal technics and Butoh. Since 2018 I live and work between Ukraine and other european countries. Based in Germany.
My main subject of artistic research is animal ethics. Since the russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine I dedicate most of my time to volunteering and political activism in Germany.
