censorship (2019)Drawing by Yaroslav Kurbanov

Censorship no longer announces itself through bans or erasures. In an age of infinite information, control operates less by hiding and more by selecting what becomes visible.

Digital platforms shape individual landscapes of perception, quietly arranging the flow of images, opinions, and narratives. What appears as freedom of choice often unfolds within an architecture designed in advance. The visible world contracts into a reflective surface, echoing what one already believes.

Within this space, censorship migrates inward. It is no longer imposed but absorbed, no longer enforced but anticipated. Thought begins to adjust itself before it is spoken; perception narrows before it is questioned.

The work reflects on this transformation — on the moment when the abundance of information gives rise not to openness, but to invisible boundaries of attention
