Alexandr Kazella, On My Love, 2022

collage, marker, glue, paper, 28 x 23 cm

One of the first collages created in exile. The theme is the acute need for verbal proximity, the difficulty of adaptation, integration in a different language environment, in a different culture, and, as a result, vulnerability and loneliness. The difficulty of communication is not only external, but also internal.

The Google-translated text of the work is not a statement, but rather a question:
Is it possible to convince someone of your love using your native language? And if so, how to do it in a language you don't know? Alexandr Kazella
