CRASH AND BURN Solo Project by Darina Mykytyuk Kyiv, 2019

CRASH AND BURN is a fragmented archive of memory, emotion, and unspoken dialogues. Inspired by the phrase “to break into a thousand pieces,” the project reflects on personal collapse as a form of transformation — beautiful, painful, and alive.

In this visceral body of work, Mykytyuk navigates the space between fact and fiction, memory and mythology. Each piece carries the weight of imagined conversations, missed encounters, and emotional residue that lingers beneath the surface.

CRASH AND BURN is not only an aesthetic gesture — it is a deep emotional cartography. Through layered textures and raw visual language, the artist offers a powerful meditation on loss, desire, and the quiet violence of emotional survival.
