Forgot to say. From "Never Again" series

The space in which the exposition unfolds becomes a metaphor for the unconscious. There is a secret place inside every person where fears, suppressed emotions, and unwanted memories are hidden. Everything that is difficult to express in reality — impotence, shame, resentment, fatigue, anger, envy. Embodied in the form of works of art, they are exposed and presented to the viewer as a tangible reality. Through this transformation, a therapeutic effect is achieved: "forbidden" feelings are included in one's own biography and the personality becomes voluminous and integral.

"Never again" is a phrase with which we often set limits and prohibitions for ourselves, without knowing the underlying reasons for our actions. These prohibitions are often immediately violated. A harsh statement about the new rules becomes a parody of oneself, sounds false and hopeless. As a promise to start a new life on Monday.
