The piece titled "Sorry Mom, We're All a Bit of Foreign Agents" explores the challenge of maintaining communication with parents while dealing with the stigma of being labeled a "foreign agent." This label often comes with a loss of trust due to the influence of media, societal pressures, or influential figures. The work reflects the difficulty of breaking through a growing barrier of misunderstanding. When arguments are met with the dismissive response, "It's all because they are foreign agents," one might feel defeated and say, "Sorry, Mom, I’m also a bit of a foreign agent." The figure depicted in the artwork, who “does not” resemble the well-known Russian journalist and blogger Yuri Dud, symbolizes those who persist in trying to overcome this barrier, despite the challenges. The caption "The portrait does not contain an image of Yuri Aleksandrovich Dud" adds a layer of ironic commentary on the restrictions imposed on artistic expression.

In exile, artists often work with whatever materials are available. In Budapest, there is a yearly event where residents can place all their unwanted items on the street for collection by either garbage workers or artists. This piece was created on the back of a wardrobe found on a dumpster during one of these collection days.
