Concrete

Kyryl Yelchyts' Concrete collection is a testament to his ability to breathe life and emotion into one of the coldest and most understated materials — concrete. This series reveals the hidden poetry in concrete's humble form, transforming it into a medium of conceptual storytelling and artistic expression.

In the installation series "Through Concrete", Kyryl creates concrete plant pots by casting fibrous concrete around existing pots. The concept behind these pieces is to symbolize the resilience of life, which strives to flourish despite any barriers. The plants, emerging from the harshness of concrete, evoke a powerful message — the will to grow is stronger than any obstacle.

Another notable piece in this collection is a light fixture with a concrete base. Here, Kyryl explores the idea of temptation and persistence, showcasing that even the weight of concrete cannot suppress the enduring nature of desire and aspiration. The juxtaposition of a cold, solid material and the warmth of light captures the tension between resistance and determination.

Through the Concrete collection, Kyryl demonstrates his unique ability to infuse soul and purpose into minimalistic, industrial elements, transforming concrete into a powerful symbol of life, struggle, and beauty.
