[Artwork Statement]
Sirin is one of the birds of paradise in Slavic folklore, captivating listeners with her poignant song. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by such mythical birds. In this work, I include details that reflect the character of my home region, such as a necklace inspired by Perm animal style, a traditional artistic style of the Bronze Age Perm region.

[SOMSOC ART SHOW 2026]
SOMSOC ART SHOW is an annual art event presented by SOMSOC GALLERY.
It creates new encounters and exchanges through art, offering a space where anyone can experience works freely and intuitively.

This year’s theme is “One Artist, One Character.”
Each artist condenses a character representing their current practice and world into a single A4-sized work.
Whether a figure, abstract symbol, or embodiment of spirit, each character is a small universe reflecting the artist’s aesthetics and ideas.
Diverse expressions converge in Harajuku, where distinct worlds intersect.
