Polar fox Year
The project by polar artist Daria Panfilova operates concurrently within both physical and digital realms. Through this endeavor, Panfilova delves into the theme of escapism, exploring humanity's inclination to evade reality and pursue alternate realms. Leveraging contemporary technologies and digital mediums, the artist crafts parallel universes where individuals can seek solace and construct their narratives.

Existing in dual states—physical and digital—Panfilova's oeuvre embodies a distinct fusion of aesthetics, technology, and philosophy.

In Russian cultural symbolism, the pike often serves as a metaphor for overcoming adversity. The presentation of exhibition pieces as vulnerable ceramic sculptures and their digital avatars underscores the familiarity of such existential duality, highlighting both the prevalent allure of escapism as a coping mechanism and the imperative to engage with reality and confront emerging challenges within it.
