"Stone" by Olena Shtepura conveys the profound contemplation of a threshold, as the artist eloquently puts it: "One, only one step separates you from the leap into the abyss." The work presents the viewer with a first-person perspective atop a stone cliff, the churning waters beneath a canvas for projecting one's fears and hopes. The painting beckons the question of whether the sun-kissed opposite shore is worth the uncertainty of the leap. Shtepura's use of a large canvas amplifies the grandeur of this moment, utilizing a palette that underscores the interplay between light and dark, the known and the unknown.
