In her practice, the artist explores the theme of the fragile and explores her national identity through territories close in blood or spirit. In the "lost" project, she travels through the Arkhangelsk region and Karelia, seeking to remember and capture what will soon disappear and to find inner harmony by creating a fragile link between the dissolving archaicism of the past and the present.
The contrast of white porcelain and the rough texture of burnt wood is of particular significance in the project. For the artist, porcelain symbolises preciousness and fragility, something to be preserved. All the objects are hand-sculpted and the process of working on them is a long meditative process, similar to traditional women's practices such as embroidery. A burnt tree is an ambivalent image, the conscious burning can be seen as getting rid of unnecessary things, purification. At the same time, a fire is a tragedy; a city that has existed for centuries can disappear in a matter of minutes.

В проекте особое значение имеет контраст белоснежного фарфора и грубой фактуры сгоревшего дерева. Фарфор для художницы символизирует драгоценность и хрупкость, что-то, что хочется сберечь. Все объекты слеплены вручную, процесс работы над ними — это длительный медитативный процесс, схожий с перебиранием чёток или вышивкой. Сгоревшее дерево – амбивалентный образ, осознанное сжигание можно воспринимать как избавление от ненужного, очищение. В тоже время пожар - это трагедия, город, существовавший столетиями, может исчезнуть за считанные минуты.
