Implicit
Site-specific mural

Site-specific mural developed during an artist residency, translating abstract research into architectural scale. The work explores color, rhythm, and circular structure through direct engagement with the surface and its surroundings.
 

The mural was created in Braga, Portugal, during an artist residency on the DST campus. The specific architectural and industrial context informed both the scale and the material choices, reinforcing the relationship between surface, structure, and environment.

The mural incorporates a quote by Clarice Lispector:
“Freedom is little. What I desire has no name yet.”

The text appears in Portuguese, Ukrainian, and English, introducing a layered linguistic dimension that extends the visual structure into language. The multiplicity of languages reinforces the work’s exploration of movement between contexts, translation, and shifting meanings within space.

Informed by the study of Sonia Delaunay’s approach to simultaneity and form, the mural became a point of transition — where graphic research expanded into spatial and material practice. This process later continued in sculptural objects and artist books, maintaining the logic of rhythm, repetition, and transformation across scales.
