Teenage period was the brightest and the sorest time. I felt myself as an awkward creature not fitting into frames, revolting and trying to find my own voice. Self-expression,gender role, the way my body looks,a sense of alienation from my family. Later I realized - I belong to the environment that I'm fighting with anyway. If I had to draw my family tree it'd have aloe vera shape. It was the most typical plant in postsoviet homes.It reproduces fast so you can share. In this work it's symbolic in many ways. I used locations and objects that surrounded me during that period.
