*ANASTASIA SAMOYLOVA (1984) grew up in Moscow and moved to the United States in 2008, where she graduated with a master's degree in Interdisciplinary Art from Bradley University, Illinois. Her work critically explores the tension between the staged perception of bombastic materialism and the underlying reality.
