DescriptionSavka describes her work as an embodiment of “emotional expression through symbols, colors, and burnt particles on paper, creating a unique form of communication. For me, art serves as both therapy and a means of connecting with the world.” Her partner, Roman Khrushch, is currently stationed at the front.
