Larysa Rusina, a media artist from Kyiv, had a number of well-known art projects in Ukraine and abroad. Published on PhotoVogue. She has been exhibiting in the Netherlands over the past two years, as she currently lives in Holland. Since November 2023 Larysa works as a trauma therapist in the Dutch company Trauma Care. During the period of work in trauma therapy with resettled Ukrainians in the Netherlands, Larysa started working on the “stardust” project. The project that she wants to make therapeutic for many people. “Art is a universal language, art therapy is extremely effective," assures Larysa and uses art in her work constantly.
«I want people with existing traumas, when they visit the exhibition, to experience the "change of the perspective, change of the scale of their problems" through visual immersion in the cosmic world, which reminds us of the fluidity of everything, constant transformation, dimensions where there is no evil and no good, but there is only an endless movement of universal energy. I want visitors to have the opportunity to choose their auxiliary visual avatar, which will be their assistant in everyday life, as a reminder, as everyday self-therapy.»
«At one of our trauma seminars we talked about the “black hole” feeling. The feeling of a black hole is a place where the psyche tries to hide during super powerful permanent traumatization. A place where you are disconnected from the world with all the pain you can no longer feel. A place where there are no more emotions. A place where everything is just a “stardust”. I continue my visual notes on this topic with AI, which, I hope, will have not only aesthetic but also therapeutic meaning one day.»
«Put your eyes in my palms, I will take you to the world of magical flowers and powerful stars, where there is no pain, and everything around breathes divine wisdom, every day a symphony of love sounds, where all problems are just star dust.»
