Repulse

ICONART Gallery, Lviv 2025
17.06.2025 - 13.07.2025

The author's project "Repulse" is dedicated to understanding the act of responding to a threat — primarily a military one. It addresses both personal and collective experience.

This exhibition is an attempt at creative interpretation and re-evaluation of the choice facing the Christian civilized community: how to react, how to act, how to repel the temptations of despair, inaction, fear, or moral compromise. The project offers examples of strategies that contradict relativism, procrastination, and appeasement.

Through biblical, apocryphal, and hagiographic narratives, the artist turns to iconographic images of determination, zeal, strength, hope, and justice. She sees in holy warriors and angels symbolic models of ethical choice — as a narrative of the triumph of good not despite the struggle, but thanks to it.

From Old Testament battles to visions from the "Book of Revelation," this exhibition asserts: good does not triumph automatically. Its strength lies in effort, in faithfulness, in refusing to yield to evil. Its triumph is in God's presence alongside those who stand for truth.
