In the 80s, girls in then-Soviet Ukraine had to wear uniforms to school, adorned with white collars we had to sew on ourselves. Both the uniform and collar felt like confinement, something we instinctively pushed against.
However, many years later, memory treats them as objects of longing and nostalgia, associated with the most endearing moments of school years.
The Uniform body of work is a meditation on this shift in perspective and on what is more real - how I felt back then or how I remember it today?
