Sevastopol

A triptych of wartime sketches portrays life under a protracted siege, alternating intense, minute-by-minute battle scenes with quieter depictions of camp life, hospitals, and city streets. Graphic sensory detail—artillery fire, smoke, mud, and exhaustion—conveys the physical toll of modern conflict, while reflective passages interrogate notions of duty, heroism, and the moral bewilderment experienced by participants and bystanders. The work blends close observational realism with philosophical meditation, tracing how routine, fear, and bureaucratic orders shape individual behavior amid large-scale violence.
