A blinding yellow light that does not illuminate the path, but instead obscures vision. This is a threshold state between objective reality and subjective pain.
Tracing the circle using an ordinary household plate, the artist fixed the only routine available to her at the time — a small act that kept her afloat.
“It was honest — to the extent that one can be honest with oneself when focusing on details instead of seeing the situation as a whole.” The Hero looks into the wall of their own intimate yet enclosed universe.
Note: The final part of the triptych “Color Harmony” (section “Stupor”) within Olena Koliesnik’s conceptual 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.
