We will present the works of photographer Lada Vesna and theatrical artist and illustrator Elena Tarshis. Each artist addresses the eternal question of the origin and the beginning of all things, interpreting it through her own creative and inimitable lens.

Lada Vesna explores the inner world of the human being in development, seeking to walk alongside the viewer through the first steps of life’s journey. Through the eyes of Adam and Eve, she contemplates the path from paradise to earth. Lada achieves this masterfully, utilizing a very specific technique of black-and-white photography.

In contrast, Elena’s drawings are filled with colors and nuances. Her gaze is directed toward a more mystical origin. Her collection consists of 22 fine art prints of the Major Arcana from the "Magic Tarot of the Universe" deck. Each composition resembles a theatrical mise-en-scène, referencing medieval mysteries and the fundamental traditions of the Tarot of Marseille.
