This section brings together works that are difficult to assign to any specific series. Here, the artist steps beyond familiar forms, creating a new language of expression rooted in discoveries made throughout previous series.
Embedded Files
Ielizaveta draws on her own creative path as a source of reference, developing already uncovered effects and approaches. This gives rise to an evolutionary process — both in shaping form and rethinking surface treatments.
Many techniques and ideas that once served other visual narratives begin to live independently here. This is a kind of macrocosm — not immediately visible on the surface, but once immersed in it, one discovers a world of rich complexity and depth.

"This sculpture is the first attempt to combine the texture of coarse fireclay with Finnish wool and delicate Italian merino. The textile becomes part of the landscape of the form, displacing the traditional ceramic coating with glaze and opening up new ways of interacting materials in sculpture."
This piece was created by Ielyzaveta in 2025 during a Värtsilä artist residency, Finland. There, she became more closely acquainted with the technique of wool felting and decided to use it as a surface treatment. A soft layer of wool was applied to the exposed surface of chamotte ceramics, offering a new perspective on traditional surface finishes.
Shortly after its completion, the work was presented at the artist’s solo exhibition in Kyiv, at the Ivan Kavaleridze Museum. Later that same summer, it represented the artist at the international ceramics competition "MEDITERRANEO" in Museo della Ceramica in Grottaglie, southern Italy.

In this work, Ielizaveta continues to explore the image of the thorn, turning the sculpture into something that seems to lack a corporeal form — as if it were woven entirely from sharp elements. Yet the presence of wool transforms the perception: some of the thorns appear softened, like the shape of a calligrapher's brush. It is a reminder that even what seems unapproachable and sharp may in fact long for tenderness and care.
The Finnish wool, found by the artist in the region of the residency, has a uniquely tactile allure — as if inviting the viewer to touch it and surrender to the fragile warmth hidden beneath the surface.

This group of objects once again returns to one of the artist’s central themes — the image of the thorn. Three independent forms, each in its own way complete yet vulnerable, find balance only through contact with one another.
Here, a weapon meant to instill fear and confidence in its bearer appears as a tangle of fragile branches, intertwining in an attempt to hold their balance in the midst of a storm.
