Hi, I'm Irina Yakovets!

In my work, by drawing a parallel between plants and people, I wanted to convey that preserving roots during immigration not only helps people maintain their identity but also enriches the cultural diversity of the society in which they live.

Beauty is a multifaceted and mutable notion that cannot be precisely defined. It remains one of those categories that each individual and society as a whole understands in their own way.

My work "A Set of Nuances" reflects the complexity and multifaceted nature of human beings. Each person is unique, and their personality, behavior, thoughts, and emotions are shaped by a multitude of factors and details. 

In our times, the number of people displaced as a result of climate change, conflicts, or the need to seek livelihoods has reached a record high since World War II. Today, immigration is a source of intense controversy. Through my work, I aimed to convey the sense of psychological reset, the nullification of familiar experiences and social roles. It is about the rebirth and transformation of a new personality in new living conditions.

In the project I wanted to reflect the real world in its mobility and changeability.
