"The show deals in themes of migration, the way the Earth's matter moves and remembers, especially through ancestral bodies, reflecting the emergent nature of identity shaped by both place and transition between places."
"Tsytsyn's distinct color sensibility-draws the works in conversation through chromatic worldbuilding, accented with floral and geometric patterns in reference to her cultural heritages."
"The mask Veins of the Earth appears as a heart-like structure, with intricately woven veins painted red that seamlessly blend into a prominent crown of driftwood reaching toward the sky."
Zhanna Tsytsyn's solo exhibition, Where Roots Refuse Borders, features fourteen clay masks, six paintings, and a large sculpture at One Grand Gallery. The works reflect themes of migration and identity shaped by place and transition. Tsytsyn, originally from Siberia, incorporates her cultural heritage into her art, using a distinct color palette and floral patterns. The masks, influenced by animism, showcase both bold geometric shapes and intricate details. One notable mask, Veins of the Earth, resembles a heart with woven veins and a crown of driftwood, symbolizing connection to nature.
