Christina Bunevich is a visual artist currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Studio Art at Youngstown State University. With a previous degree in mechanical engineering, her practice brings together analytical thinking and creative exploration. Influenced by travel, history, archaeology, cultural heritage, mathematics, and the natural world, her work explores place as witness and the layered relationships between time, memory, agency, and human experience.

Layering is central to both the construction and meaning of Bunevich’s work. She juxtaposes geometric patterns with organic and representational forms, incorporating painting, printmaking, photography, textiles, metallic leaf, mapping, and digital references. Her engineering background informs her interest in dimensionality, systems, perspective, and the tension between order and chaos. By treating time as another dimension, she constructs spaces where past, present, and imagined futures coexist and intersect.

Questions of agency—how much we direct our own paths and how much is shaped by environment, circumstance, and forces beyond our control—recur throughout her practice. Navigation functions as both metaphor and structure through portals, pathways, maps, architectural elements, and references to role-playing adventure games. Her process similarly moves between precise planning and experimentation. Bunevich invites viewers to slow down, explore, and consider how place, history, memory, perspective, and accumulated choices shape who we become and where we are going.
