With photography, Elena constructs what she calls the Myth of Silent Stories and Heroic Epics, working with so-called silent themes\u2014seemingly inconspicuous and inapparent. The series \u2018We Don\u2019t Want to See This Anymore\u2019 comprises portraits of the artist\u2019s friends who have remained in Ukraine during the russian\u2013Ukrainian war, shown with their eyes closed. That gesture was intended to convey a sense of indifference and distance\u2014when a viewer approaches the portraits, they do not look back. Yet the portraits revealed much more\u2014a state of vulnerability, self-absorption and focus on one\u2019s own thoughts because reality is terrifying. Behind each portrait lies a story whose central thread is the impact of war on people\u2019s lives. For Elena, it was important to tell these stories; therefore, the portraits became diptychs. She supplemented them with fragments of life that, through images and symbols, narrate the sitters\u2019 stories of how the war has affected them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
