My Small Peace

Polina Tymofieieva's project for My Family Story 2022. ANU- Museum of the Jewish People

Polina Tymofieieva

Polina's exhibit shows two sets of stairs that ascend to heaven, symbolizing two sides of her family: her mother's and her father's. Up in the clouds are figures of her ancestors - they watch over and support her family members. Below are figures of Polina and her brother holding a strong root symbolizing strong family ties and passing on wisdom from generation to generation.
