Something in Everyone (2022-2023) is a recurring, site-specific installation in which Shevchenko’s material investigations work toward a floating visual metaphor. Repurposed bottles are dressed with linen and are staged differently each time, allowing the work to fade in and out of contact with global concerns. More recently, the bottles have drawn a formal resemblance to Molotov cocktails, a symbol of Ukrainian resistance and resilience, casting it with a political valence in light of the intensification of the Ukranian-Russian war in 2022.
The bottles’ frenzied display on the floor incites a feeling of disturbance and anguish, but their grouping also carries a sense of communion and vitality. - Danica Pinteric
