 Echoes of Conflict

Echoes of Conflict is a powerful collection of paintings created on fragments of artillery shells recovered from Ukraine. By transforming the remnants of war into works of art, Tetyana Frey reclaims objects once associated with destruction and turns them into symbols of resilience, memory, and hope.

Each fragment carries its own history, collected from places marked by conflict and reimagined through colour, symbolism, and storytelling. The jagged metal, once an instrument of violence, becomes a canvas that honours those affected by war while affirming the enduring strength of the human spirit.

Rather than allowing these remnants to remain symbols of fear, Frey gives them a new purpose. Her work invites viewers to reflect on loss, courage, and the possibility of healing, demonstrating how creativity can transform destruction into dialogue and hope.

Tetyana Frey is a Ukrainian artist whose practice is rooted in the lived experience of war and the resilience of the Ukrainian people. Her acclaimed collection, Echoes of Conflict, transforms fragments of artillery shells into expressive works of art, creating a powerful dialogue between destruction and renewal.

Through painting, Frey explores themes of memory, identity, hope, and peace. Her work preserves personal and collective stories, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, creativity can become an act of resistance, healing, and remembrance. Every artwork is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity documenting the origin of the shell fragment and the story behind the piece.

Frey's work transforms the symbols of violence into symbols of resilience, reminding us that even in the aftermath of destruction, humanity can create hope, preserve memory, and inspire peace.
