”There are moments when you no longer have the strength to move toward others because your inner resources are completely depleted. Communication itself becomes exhausting.
A desire arises to hide within your own bubble and pretend you are not involved. On the canvas — blurred silhouettes beyond the circle and a background losing its form, conveying the relentless pursuit of connection between people.
This work is a mirror for anyone who has experienced total emotional burnout, sought refuge in isolation, been used as a useful contact, or struggled to build relationships on equal terms.
Note: A work from the “Escape” section of Olena Koliesnik’s series “Solomon’s Paradox.” 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.
