Inspired by the techniques used in traditional Ukrainian kilims, Oksana applies old methods to found objects, nourishing them with new life and meaning. Here, she brings an old fencing mask found in a flea market overseas. The unique piece becomes the representation of non-existent tribes, with its own character and mood. The mask symbolises human individuality.
