Ghost, 2026

Oleksandra Hrebelna  

The “11 PM" series is an artistic exploration of human vulnerability and privacy through the lens of light voyeurism. What do we do when we're left alone in the dark? While one person says a silent prayer, another searches the internet for answers to questions they wouldn't dare voice during the day. This is an honest and unbiased look at the many facets of our nights: from deep loneliness to intimate moments when true thoughts and hidden desires come to the surface.

This composition is about a phenomenon similar to a phantom. It appears out of nowhere: a sudden flash of memory about something very personal—seemingly insignificant at first glance, but in reality deeply intimate. A chance gesture from the past, a glance from long ago, or a voice left behind somewhere in time seeps into the present for a moment, bringing our most secret fantasies to light.
In this state, the line between what actually happened and what the imagination has added blurs. A bizarre synthesis of real memories and illusions emerges—a fragile, elusive phantom that cannot be held onto. It disturbs the space, touches the subconscious, and vanishes the moment you so much as stir, leaving behind a barely perceptible yet vivid mental trace. For a few seconds, the past pays a visit in the form of an ephemeral phantom, laying bare our true vulnerability.
