My work belongs to the post-ritual.
Ritual, in the esoteric sense, is a path and a discipline of repetition through which intention becomes practice, and practice becomes form. My interest begins where this path collapses. What collapses first is meaning; what remains is the body still moving through a structure it no longer needs to believe in.
I‘m interested in this specific kind of temporality — the interval between the sacred and its absence, once one has ended but the other hasn‘t fully arrived
I observe what is left behind.
I work with fragments of belief, identity, and form.
I return to the same question: What do we do when the structure no longer holds, but we are still here?
Daria Heimur (born in 2003 in Dnipro, Ukraine) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Zurich, Switzerland. Working across painting, performance, and installation, she employs oil, acrylic, and mixed media on canvas. Her practice focuses on the psychological and symbolic traces that remain when structure dissolves. Through the interplay of material decay and spiritual resonance, she investigates how emotion and memory persist beyond formal systems.
