Artwork presented for donations
Olga Sho
"A stream of crystal clarity in a landscape of anxious consciousness", 2021
Olga Sho's works focus on drawing as a process of thinking, cognition and reflection on social phenomena. The series "a stream of crystal clarity in a landscape of anxious consciousness" was born in 2021 as a contemplation over many people experiencing increased feeling of anxiety due to global uncertainties and changes. An abstract drawing starts with a chance of ink flow and then the surface is worked on by the artist to slowly reveal emerging patterns and structures, to build up some certainty. The visual forms of torus (a donut-like shape) represent the idea of social connections, how new communities are born and old dissolved or transformed into something new.
Ink, pencil, pastel on paper.

A developed country involves much deforestation, and in that, encroachment of natural land.
How much of nature’s ecosystem have we, the mankind, disrupted, and tried to resolve our
man-made destruction in creating artificial land? This work confronts the consequences of
our actions, and the ‘new natural’.

A part of my larger work of the same title. In the act of creating the strainers, the mesh has
to be pushed and pulled with the use of pliers. This action is symbolic of the struggle of
one’s turbulent relationship and doubts with his/her religion that one is brought up in.
The use of sieves are representative of how we 'filter out' what we learnt from our
experiences in creating ourselves. The shadows casted on the wall also symbolises how
religion, spirituality - or the lack of it - is a constant influence that is always present in our
lives. Spirituality (or lack thereof) depicts how our relationship with spirituality, or the lack
of it, shapes each of us into the person we are today.
