Olena magnifies fleeting moments of private ritual, personal transformation, and the power of the breath through large scale oil-paintings in Between Shadows. The collection is painted in a loose, impressionistic style with emotive color, and are populated with naturalistic elements such as water, flowers, and outer space. This imagery symbolizes themes of rejuvenation, self-reflection, and the unknown. The use of arch-shaped canvases function as a doorway that imply a liminal space to be moved through, be it from oneself to the next, from the unconscious to the conscious, or the material to the spiritual.

A collection of standalone portraits, each a meditation on transformation, liminality, and the sacred feminine- explored through reurring motifs of flame, florals, and mysticism, with a singular narrative thread.
