This installation work is dedicated to all disabled people in Ukraine and those disabled by war. The disability community has difficulty fleeing war and many civilians and soldiers become disabled from war. The chair celebrates mobility devices, disability and the need to be a visible part of society while also shedding light on issues the disability community faces. The collages use old photos of soldiers disabled from war to show disability representation and connections to today. The stories of disabled people are diverse, complex, and interconnected throughout history.
