Olha calls her creations Light Remedies. They are photographs of collages assembled in nature that mirror and reflect light. Using crystals and water as her “lens filter,” she builds communication bridges between human consciousness and the elements: Fire/Light, Earth, Air, Gold/Metal, Wood, Water, and Sound. Her work seeks to create harmony between the visible world and the invisible realm of subtle energy. She blends her visual storytelling training with ancient wisdom from the healing arts, applying light and color as a powerful remedy to heal the human soul and bring balance and peace.
Gallery16ten is located at 1610 Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown.
