The dichotomy:
between chaos and harmony

The dichotomy suggests a subdivision of a concept; a division of an entity into two parts which are not necessarily dualistically mutually exclusive but which can be complementary. Elizabeta Porodina accentuates and expresses two different aesthetics: between black and white and vivid colors, between light and shadow, between fluid and rigid, between graceful and heavy, between clear and confused. The lightness, colors and harmony of photographs similar to frozen dreams in paintings collide with distorted photographs, ambiguous figures, dark colors. broken images, worthy of fossilized nightmares in a black & white atmosphere.

The two combined aesthetics can represent an aspect of psychology; each of the two is the symbol of the most harmonious and most chaotic part of each of us. Like reason and madness, the unconscious and the subconscious. Instinctively, we show the most colorful, brightest part of us on the outside, while the black madness hides inside, anxious to get out.
