LIGHT is an inevitable part of our existence. It is the starting point of an individual life. Are we born into the world to follow a certain path or to determine it? Do we choose from an endless variety of paths or is our choice pre-determined? It seems that we try different paths throughout our life to find the best suitable one. Following our life path, all our actions leave a trace, thus creating a special unique pattern. The series was made in one of the airports of Ukraine. As a rule, people rush in such places.

Art for Yana Gryniv is an opportunity to be heard and to encourage others to think. Her artistic path began with pottery and silk-screen printing, then she turned to stained-glass painting and later added painting, photography and installation art to her circle of activities. In 2022 in Vienna she founded a curatorial platform Art Contact Ukraine. The platform facilitates collaboration between artists, cultural/governmental/diplomatic institutions, and activists. The scope of activity is defined through conceptual art, burning issues and cultural heritage.
