ZAVADSKI × DZVI

“People in the Windows” is a solo exhibition
by Dzvi, where observation becomes the
artist’s primary language. Through human
figures, shifting scales, and vivid chromatic
forms, she reflects on the multiplicity of
human existence — vulnerability, intimacy,
fear, hope, and inner rupture. Her paintings
embrace the diversity of lived experiences
and emotional states that shape
contemporary society.

Balancing the personal with the social, the
artist critically examines the role of women
within contemporary culture, questioning
systems of care, expectations of resilience,
and the ways strength and selfhood are
constructed and performed. Since the
beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine,
her work has further evolved into a quiet
testimony of invisible wounds,
psychological fragmentation, and
endurance. For Ukrainians today, war has
become an inseparable part of everyday life
— regardless of where we are, it remains
constantly present both within our windows
and beyond them. The reality of war exists
alongside the ordinary routines of daily
existence, woven into the same continuum
as the lives of others. Through grotesque
elements, irony, and subtle satire, Dzvi
creates visual worlds suspended between
dream and reality, where society appears at
once fragile, absurd, and profoundly human.
