Soft Loneliness, 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.
Loneliness – what is the feeling of loneliness? Today, everyone feels its presence. In fact, loneliness did not appear suddenly, but came with major life changes, such as those that continue with the onset of war, natural disasters, etc.Social and family ties have separated us for an indefinite period. An isolated area or a recent change of residence contributes to the sensitivity of loneliness, the manifestation of a deep personal crisis. Or, conversely, it activates a person's creative powers and creates the basis for personality renewal. At the stage of development of military actions, the renewal of spiritual loneliness occurs - this is a necessary stage in defining one's "I" as free self-determination and self-affirmation in the world. No one knows how much time it takes to understand the essence of loneliness, except for oneself. Also, what will be its consequences after the end of the war or natural disasters. Will there be a resource left for reflection, awareness and analysis of oneself, a state of calm, rest, etc.?

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.
