WHAT WE REMEMBER IS WHO WE ARE
Ceramic sculptures inhabited by YaYu — beings who carry their memories in plain sight.
My name is Anastasiia. I build a world.
At the center of it are YaYu — ceramic beings who exist outside the categories the world insists on. The world they live in is larger than them, and I am still discovering it. My practice is rooted in memory — not as something distant, but as living matter I carry inside me. What I make is about joy — the hard-won kind.

The work I consider closest to the centre of my practice
A YaYu to carry with you
Some things are meant to be held close. This pendant is a small YaYu, cast in sterling silver — a being you can carry, the way you carry the things that matter.

FROM THE STUDIO
This is where the world of YaYu takes form — hand-built in stoneware, one piece at a time. Each one begins as something I carry, and ends as something that can stand on its own.
