Luba Zygarewicz was born in Chile, grew up in Bolivia, and moved to San Francisco at the age of 15. She received her BA in Visual Arts from Loyola University, New Orleans and her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Zygarewicz gravitates to creating pieces that, in time, accumulate to a larger whole, working with materials such as hair, lint, twigs, cotton, and paper. Her work comments on the transience of time and landscape, and elevates the seemingly banal through immersive, place-based installations and sculptures.

"Growing up as a missionary kid, we moved around. Nothing really belonged to us, and I belonged nowhere. I believe that it's why I gather and I collect. To anchor a sense of belonging and to create a sense of history at the same time." – Luba Zygarewicz
Traditional Backrooms Game creatures and gloomy woodlands have been less common in horror games in recent years. The Backrooms game is among the most unusual instances of this change, taking a straightforward idea and transforming it into a profoundly unnerving experience. This game creates horror through atmosphere, loneliness, and the unknown rather than gore or action.
That's such a profound and relatable insight from Luba Zygarewicz. It perfectly encapsulates how our early experiences shape us and our coping mechanisms. The idea of "collecting" to create a sense of history and belonging when you felt you had none is incredibly poignant. It makes perfect sense that someone who experienced such transience would seek to root themselves in tangible ways, building their own anchors in the world. It really highlights the deep human need for connection and a personal narrative, and how we find ways to build that for ourselves.
