Traces of memory and transformation emerge through materials once overlooked, now reimagined as quiet forms of resistance and reflection.
ILLYA SKUBAK
A Ukrainian artist who transforms used and storied objects into sculptural works filled with poetic resonance. His practice is rooted in theatre and public performance, reflecting on themes of time, place, transformation, and the hidden beauty within the ordinary. Now based in Bangkok, he continues to create using discarded materials, breathing new life into what has been left behind.
"I act as a mediator between people and everyday life, which often becomes familiar and unnoticed." — Illya Skubak
What’s left behind becomes new, shaped by time and memory.
where forgotten play returns.
where a house holds more than walls.
where something lost begins again.
From matter to code, each form endures as both object and signal.
