Eruption (2025) is a pseudo-documentary project consisting of 40,000 hand-crafted red-winged bugs (known as soldier bugs in Ukraine and gendarmes in France), installed across three contexts — a room, the human body, and food. The insect invasion serves as an allegory for the Russian occupation of Ukrainian territories, reflecting the gradual takeover of safe spaces, the human body, and everyday life, revealing vulnerability, fear, and destruction. The project unfolds in three parts — Eruption, Penetration, and Absorption — each accompanied by witness commentary.
