"...For Yulia Bas, personal rupture triggers not only a personal collapse but also a breakdown of artistic language itself. From this disintegration, a new approach develops through action rather than intention.

The repeated gestures of marking and smudging charcoal become a way of engaging what cannot be fully articulated—an ongoing negotiation between control and release, presence and erasure. Rejecting mediated tools and the use of color, Bas works directly with her hands and dry materials, maintaining close contact with the surface.
Meaning is not pre-established but gradually uncovered through process. Repetition establishes a steady rhythm, allowing instability to persist without resolution, while translating emotional disarray into a form of continuity"
