series of engravings, etching

France, Paris, 2025

The project explores the personal and ecological history of Daria Panteleeva, who grew up in Neftekamsk (Russia)— a city closely tied to oil extraction. In a family proud of its work in the fuel industry, oil was seen as a symbol of stability. This biography becomes the foundation for artistic reflection — not through rejection, but through the exploration of an inner conflict between memory, the body, and ecological anxiety. In this series of prints, Daria uses etching. The toxicity of some materials becomes part of the concept: the technique enters into dialogue with the content. The project questions the boundaries between ecological protest and cultural heritage, turning printmaking into a space for ethical reflection.
