————————————

This new series by British-Russian artist Anastasia Tribambuka explores the liminal terrain between departure and arrival, between the known and the unknown. It is a strange, shifting space—inhabited after leaving what once felt like home, though no new home has yet appeared.

A valley between worlds.
An interregnum.
A time between times.
A melted self between forms.

At its centre is a female figure—sometimes visible, sometimes implied—moving through this in-between landscape. Her journey is not linear, but fragmentary: shaped by memory, by myth, by intuition. Along the way, threshold figures emerge— mermaids, winged messengers, half-remembered myths, psychopomps and shadows, creatures of guidance or distraction.

Here, transformation begins not with clarity, but with dissolution. New ground is not found—it is grown, slowly, from fragments. Memories surface, drift, dissolve.

Working mostly with a palette of red, black and pink, Tribambuka layers rough, hand-printed textures with luminous watercolour washes. Ephemera—typewritten fragments, archival traces, cartographies of past lives—float alongside the precision of inked line. The result is both tender and uneasy: a visual language of passage, where the accidental and the deliberate meet.

These are works that refuse conclusion. They hold the viewer gently—betwixt and between—where something unnamed is beginning to take shape.

About the artist: Anastasia Tribambuka is a London based multidisciplinary artist working predominantly in painting, printmaking, and large-scale audio-visual installations. Her practice is mainly concerned with the themes of shifting identity, home and belonging, as well as experience of living in a female body; with a strong participatory element and often involving audience interaction in the creation of the work.

The exhibition will take place at PANDA from November 4 to December 6.
