The work "Herbs and Winds" is about the interaction between wild herbs and the ancestral signs of the Komi people - 'pas'. Wild herbs used in Komi traditional medicine and cookery embody knowledge and practices passed down through generations in rural communities.


The signs are integrated into the plant motifs, creating a multi-layered composition of new forms of fictional wild herbs. The images reflect on how non-human bodies and the memories of place interact to form new meanings and narratives.
