Dariya Siamchuk

Dariya Siamchuk’s artistic practice focuses on exploring trauma, transformation, memory, and identity through the lens of collective and individual experiences. Her work is grounded in a dialogue with historical and contemporary realities. She examines how the experience of post-traumatic states shapes perceptions of time, space, and belonging, how memory intersects with the present, and how the past weaves itself into the future. For her, it is essential not only to reflect on traumatic experiences but also to create a space for their acknowledgment and potential healing.

Her art becomes a space for dialogue where trauma is recognized rather than ignored, and where care, attention, and restoration find a place. It serves as a reminder that even through pain, one can find meaning, continue living, and maintain a connection with the past. Living in an era shaped by events such as wars, migration, and social and political crises—events that define the traumatic experiences of entire generations—Dariya Siamchuk considers it especially important to understand pain, as it defines who we become and how we perceive our place in the world.
