There are dreams that are more frightening than their absence. They are too large, too specific, demanding years of work without any guarantees. That is why people often run away from what they desire the most.
Olena Kolesnik knows this personally: she left her pharmacy career and placed everything on art — all in. The blurred background represents a speed at which the external world loses clarity.
This work has no fixed position within the series: each viewer determines at what stage of escaping their dream they are right now.
Note: A work from the “Escape” section of Olena Koliesnik’s series “Solomon’s Paradox” based on revelations from her Instagram audience.The full series consists of 18 works created at the intersection of psychology, exploring reptilian survival instincts and the artist’s lived experience of emigration.
