About this artwork
In this realistic study of human vulnerability, a solitary figure stands with their back to the viewer, facing a singular, taut thread. This piece was a focal point of the "HOLDING ONE'S BREATH" exhibition (Lviv, Ukraine 2025), capturing a moment of profound existential stillness.
The central tension of the work lies in the ambiguous movement of the crimson pigment along the thread. The artist masterfully blurs the boundary between the internal… and external: it remains unclear whether the vibrant red is life-force pulsing outward from the heart, or a foreign essence flowing toward it.
The meticulous rendering of the body against the minimalist backdrop creates an immersive atmosphere, inviting the observer to contemplate the delicate balance of influence between the self and the world. It is a visual meditation on connection, boundaries, and the silent exchanges that define our existence.

« I work with painting, performance art, installation, and dance. I'm interested in the research of spaces with human presence and looking for situations that reveal dual reality and ambiguity. »
Yaryna Shumska is a multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges the gap between performance and abstract painting, creating what she calls an "archive of action."
She is a prize-winning Ukrainian artist whose works have been widely exhibited on a national level, as well as in Poland, France, Spain and the United States. Her artistic geography is truly global, ranging from the Venice International Performance Art Week and Tokyo to Bangkok, Barcelona, and the Arctic Action in Svalbard. A significant place in her practice is occupied by abstract painting from the 2008–2020 period, which served as a foundation for exploring the canvas as a space for "inhabiting" action. In these works, color and texture function not merely as visual elements, but as mediums for internal rhythm and energy. These canvases laid the groundwork for her current practice, where painting is transformed into a direct imprint of physical presence.
