Three parts explore themes of life, birth, and the impact of the Chornobyl disaster. The first part features the artist’s pregnant body adorned with paintings and 3D figures, symbolizing the Ukrainian pysanka and the civilizational field of Earth. The second part juxtaposes footage of a newborn with ultrasound images of the unborn child. The third part imagines twenty years post-Chornobyl, depicting twins with genetic abnormalities, symbolizing societal and genetic issues resulting from the disaster, as they walk hand in hand towards an approaching tram.
