Drawing inspiration from the prevailing scientific idea that reality is shaped by fluctuating quantum fields, the work considers what it might mean to visualise the unseen structures that underlie space and matter.
The quiver artworks begin as automatic drawings; meditatively created geometric lines which accumulate into webs, spirals, and clustered forms. These patterns recall wave vibrations, granular perception, and the intuitive geometries found in nature and psychedelic experiences. These forms are intuitive explorations, which reflect a fascination with the hidden architectures of quantum reality and how that might link with the geometric patterns embedded within our own consciousness.
Vasilisa is a visual artist and filmmaker based in the Margate, originally from Russia. Working across drawing, collage, and moving image, her practice explores intersections of female identity, embodiment, nature, and the esoteric within contemporary culture. Recent work investigates quantum vibrational fields, expanding her interest in unseen forces, energy, and material presence.
Her projects often draw on folklore and mysticism while engaging critically with modern systems of representation. Notable works include the Waxchick series, which broadcast hyper-sexualised self-portraits on public billboards to interrogate women’s visibility and agency in media and the arts. Vasilisa’s work has been supported and presented by institutions such as the Royal Academy, Tate, and ICA. In 2018, she founded the eco-initiative Clean Air Now, integrating film and public advertising formats, and has since continued producing short films and visual art projects.
