Reassembling memory

Oyjon Khayrullaeva is a digital artist whose work engages with Central Asian heritage, mythological narratives, and personal memory. Her practice centres on creating digital collages inspired by mosaics and other forms of applied art from Central Asia. She photographs mosaics in historic cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand and digitally reassembles them into new compositions.

Stories carried through generations

Khayrullaeva often draws on Central Asian myths, legends, and folktales, as well as her dreams and emotional experiences. Recently, she has found inspiration in oral histories shared by her grandmother, who recounts stories of old Bukhara and its long-forgotten customs and traditions. These recorded narratives not only preserve ancestral memory but also serve as a creative foundation for her work.
