The installation (in collaboration with Valentina Andreeva, a hearing-impaired artist) morphs a typical living room into a mostly white setting, intentionally stimulating senses beyond sight. Distorted functions of recognizable objects are a metaphor of those who do not fit rigid societal norms. Both Valentina, as a hearing-impaired artist, and Lilia, as a parent of an adult son with disability, often feel invisible and marginalized by the society.
As a visitor engages with the objects, it becomes evident that they no longer serve their usual purpose – for instance, the bed may unexpectedly emit disconcerting noises when a visitor attempts to sit on it. Tactile and olfactory objects are accessible to diverse audience.
Objects made by the artist included a lamp, a mirror, a bed with a pillow, clothes and olfactory objects.
