Kseniia Datsiuk. Metamorphoses

Dear friends, we invite you to visit the exhibition "Metamorphoses" by Kseniia Datsiuk, which will take place at our art center, Kirisenko Art Center, from March 10 to April 5.

The exhibition "Metamorphoses" is built around the process of inner change — those transformations of self-awareness that occur not as a conscious choice, but as a necessity. It is a path in which a person does not seek relief, but accepts change as the only possible way to move forward.

The painting of Kseniia Datsiuk is a space of metamorphosis, where internal shifts are inseparably connected with bodily experience, vulnerability, and tension. Her heroine exists in a state of transition — between who she once was and who she has not yet become. This transformation has no completed form and does not promise a quick result. It unfolds as a process: unstable, painful, yet irreversible.

In these works, metamorphosis is not an act of strength or a gesture of overcoming. It is an inner movement in which change happens slowly, often imperceptibly, through fragility and openness. The body does not demonstrate wholeness or stability — it deforms, dissolves into the environment, maintaining tension between a past state and a future form. The body itself becomes the place where the process of becoming is recorded.

The exhibition includes works from several series — "Metamorphoses," "Garden," and "Untitled." Despite their different formal languages, they are united by a shared inner state — being inside change. These works are not about explanation, but about living through transformation: through silence, pauses, tension, and attentive listening to oneself.

Within the context of the exhibition, fragility appears not as weakness but as a necessary condition of metamorphosis — a state of heightened sensitivity in which deep internal shifts become possible. It is in this space that the artistic language of Kseniia Datsiuk emerges — restrained, exposed, and focused on the process rather than the result.

The experience of emigration, living through the war at a distance, and the loss of stable foundations only intensify this inner dynamic of change. Yet "Metamorphoses" is not a story of collapse. It is a story about transformation as a form of preserving life — about the ability to remain alive by changing.

This exhibition is about the metamorphoses of self-knowledge unfolding within a person as a continuous movement. It is about accepting change not as a threat, but as a necessary part of existence. It is about an inner strength that is born not from hardness, but from attentive, fragile, yet enduring presence in the process of becoming.
