Information
The sense of belonging to a particular country, attachment to one’s national identity, the national idea, and national symbols are never stronger than when countries are in conflict with each other. After the Revolution of Dignity in 2014, followed by russia’s occupation of Eastern Ukraine and the now fully escalated war, the patriotism of the Ukrainian people grew enormously. In her work, Olga Permiakova not only documents the increasing number of everyday objects coloured in the Ukrainian national colors of Capri Blue and Traffic Yellow, but also condenses this patriotic symbolism into a framework of identity, hope, and cohesion in her photographic work.
