‘The Space Dogs series examines the emotional and ethical tensions in how we relate to animals, drawing on the histories and myths of the Soviet space dogs. These paintings hover between tenderness and control, presenting dogs as vulnerable, spectral figures shaped by human stories. Blending fact, folklore, and memory, the works reflect on agency, dependence, and the quiet costs of domestication - asking what our stories about animals reveal about us.’
A close-up of nursing puppies fills the frame, their mother only partly visible. The scene sits between tenderness and distance, reflecting on care, instinct, and the quiet shifts in agency that come with domestication.
