A cherished teapot.
A giant zucchini from your grandma’s garden.
A never-dying cactus gifted by your partner.

Certain things, both animate and inanimate, quietly shape our lives. We share our everyday lives with them, they preserve our meaningful memories, and spark joy in ourselves and our loved ones.

"Things" is a project, in which we offer you a personalized portrait alongside an object that holds meaning for you, whether it’s important for your identity, memorable, or just funny and captures your vibe. It can be anything, for any reason. Through this series, we seek to honor the meaningful things in our lives, revealing them in a new light.

This project is a collaboration between two artists. Anya Shchetvina captures your portrait in a simple line drawing, and Maria Kostyleva brings it to life through embroidery on a patch that you can use as you wish: decorate your wall, adorn your jacket, or add a unique touch by sewing a pocket to your favorite tote bag.

Anastasia & her bysicle
Bicycle for me is not just a vehicle to get from point A to point B, but a way to enjoy the landscape in between. It gives you a perfect balance between speed and connection to your surroundings, allowing you to truly experience the view, the fresh air, and the sounds of the environment. It transforms a simple commute into an engaging adventure.

Maria & her ukulele

On my 25th birthday, my friends surprised me with an ukulele. It was a gift I'd long dreamed of, and I taught myself to play. My ukulele is about melancholy — lyrical, sad songs sound the best on it.

Marcel & his DJ controller

With my DJ set-up, I blend energetic melodies with melancholic harmonies, creating an atmosphere where people dance and have fun. I love playing my favorite music, balancing delicate tunes with solid layers to craft memorable moments. Fragility meets stability on the dance floor, elevating the energy and joy of every set.

Anya & her home plants

I have never had a green thumb. But then I moved to Germany, to my new room that was going to be my home for many years to come. There I have found a small tradescantia plant left by a previous tenant. Taking care of her gave me comfort. Now my balcony full of plants became a place where can always find comfort.
