Dek Unu Magazine - Natali Agryzkova

Ukrainian photographer Natali Agryzkova's documentary series "Hause Spiele" captures the profound psychological and emotional terrain of forced displacement through intimate domestic scenes featuring herself and her daughter in their German exile. The work explores the liminal space between loss and adaptation, where refugees exist as "sketches on someone else's paper"—present but not fully formed in their new environment. Through metaphors of dollhouse play and dissolution into unfamiliar spaces, Agryzkova documents the disorienting process of building a life while grieving the one left behind, highlighting how adaptation becomes a performance of normalcy rather than genuine belonging.
