Emilia Levin (b. 2004) is a New York based artist currently studying at Parsons School of Design, pursuing her BFA with a minor in Museum and Curatorial Studies.

My work explores themes of childhood, memory, and nostalgia, primarily shaped by my experience with frequent moves and perception of a home base. As a second-generation Russian American, I am particularly interested in moments of cultural dissonance, currently in how identity can form between place and personal traditions.

In my recent series, I draw on the visual language of childhood, experimenting with illustration inspired by the Soviet-era cartoons I grew up watching. This reference serves as both a personal archive and a cultural lens through which I revisit my formative experiences. I reimagine personal memories of family life as dreamlike compositions, using humor, distortion, and Folklore symbolism to delve into mirage like childhood recollections.
