SYMBIOSIS
In this project, I explore the line between love and dependence, support and suffocation.
Two people are connected by a single structure, as if they were parts of the same organism.
The costume is designed as one suit for two bodies. A modular system that allows different levels of fusion and disconnection.
The main element is a continuous sleeve that merges both bodies into one uninterrupted form.
There is no clear beginning or end: one sleeve exists only through the other.
The design visualizes how closeness can turn into control, and how intimacy can quietly transform into dependence.

Part I
Story: One day, @vikatemnova , @elke.kalupar and @tenzin.choeney_official got together and made these photos.
@annuclear_ created the incredible costumes, and @sofia.lomanova did the makeup. Simply because we felt like creating something ♥️
For me, the greatest happiness is creating. And creating together with amazing people is Ă—1000 happiness
This collection began with two objects:
a glass brick from the construction of my home in Ukraine, and a necklace made of snake bones. One—rigid, cold, architectural. The other—organic, flexible, a trace of life.
Together, they represent two extremes: home and exile, fragility and survival, memory and transformation.
The glass cube once sat on my windowsill.
Now, shattered and reassembled, it becomes a metaphor for my own identity—fractured, yet whole.
The snake bones speak of rebirth, of carrying what’s dead but never gone.
This is not a story of nostalgia.
This is a story of carrying forward the remains.
