Soft Fragility, 2022

Tetiana Borys  

The series "Dissonance of Softness" consists of five paintings: "Soft Silence," "Soft Solitude," "Soft Maturity," "Soft Fragility," and "Soft Indecision." The word "softness" does not resolve the issue of human dissonance, where people so often seek meaning in spiritual growth. On the contrary, with the knowledge of adulthood, they stand at a crossroads in search of themselves.
Is fragility just a word or a measure of internal tension?
Does it change our personal self every day?
Who determines the states of elasticity and plasticity of our fragility or creates the conditions for its destruction? Everyone reflects on these questions in their own way.We didn't imagine that a person could be so fragile today. Previously, such a person seemed to me to be majestic in the world, but it turned out to be so defenseless and small, especially when there is so much metal flying nearby, and she hears loud and unfamiliar sounds. What can she do to protect herself?Almost nothing. Sometimes, even if you do everything, it may not be enough. It's so easy to kill a person. To change their life in one second is to simply mutilate their physical body, to burn out their soul in one second. The worn-out story about the perishable body is not so worn-out anymore.
This is one of my favorite series of works. Each painting complements the other. The series is like a joint conversation with other people.
After purchasing the painting, I carefully pack it in transparent film to prevent moisture from entering. Then in foam plastic. On top is packaging cardboard.
