Survival and destruction, resilience and resistance are significant themes within Trutiak's practice. Trutiak performs grotesque yet fragile interpretations of the uncanny. She creates pscyho-spatial environments consisting of slightly skewed hyper-realistic images. Body parts, sounds lanscapes and objects feed her unusual assortment of counter-repressive gestures that revolve around permutations of psychic and social repressions. 
As a Ukrainian-Canadian, Trutiak’s current work is informed by the ongoing unjust Russian invasion of Ukraine. She considers the high level of anxiety and fear caused by the current day threats of nuclear war today. Furthermore, her work proposes an awareness of how to deal with nuclear sublime; how to surpass our fear of nuclear holocaust and go beyond the power of nuclear imagination that looks uncanny.
