Visual research into Sakha patterns/ornaments using linocut printing technique.
Sakha patterns and ornaments are monumental visual manifestations of Sakha culture. Through them, the values and worldview of Sakha people are shown - the admiration and appreciation of nature, the importance of sun in our spiritual beliefs, and love and care for plants and animals.
Inspired by these ornaments and the linocut prints made by Sakha artists in the 1960s, ojuu is an attempt to merge the two together, with a system of printing blocks, where layering and using different colors of ink can create unique combinations.
The final print is made using 12 separate lino blocks that use common motifs inspired by nature - sun, lyre, plants and flowers. The layout of the print is inspired by olbokh, the traditional Sakha quilting technique of making seating cushions and blankets.
A short animation made as a love letter to Sakha Republic and its capital, Yakutsk.

With time it became less so about the place itself and more about things from the culture of Sakha people in general.
