The cycle Social Marble examines the layers of memory, ideology, and imitation within contemporary Belarus. Emerging from the artist’s observation of marble-patterned film used in Minsk to cover graffiti, it transforms this banal material into a metaphor for both state censorship and civic resilience. Artificial yet accessible, social marble reflects the contradictions of an authoritarian system built on imitation, while also embodying the collective potential for solidarity and renewal. Between concealment and revelation, trauma and empathy, the cycle turns surface into a site of conflict and reflection – a living palimpsest of a society negotiating between suppression and awakening.
