This painting is like a photo made in a moment and without a reason. Was inspired by the novel 'L'étranger' (A. Camus). Borderline state of Consciousness. A state in which two extreme points of our presence here – Birth and Death – are visible from afar. From a distance the segment between these two points (Life) seems extremely short. Recede back – and it has turned into an instant, a flash. Flashes of Consciousness, half-forgotten blurred snapshots taken by objective-lens-eye, randomly selected fragments of the past. What is Consciousness? May well be the glass between the eternal and ephemeral Worlds. How does one portray this Glass without depicting anything behind it? How does one go beyond the boundaries of a window-image, a painting in the frame? having been current since the Renaissance? How does one picture this invisible Glass as primary importance, but the matter behind it as inessential? Scratches on the lenses. Incorrectly adjusted focus. And Light refracted in Glass has accidentally revealed its physical Presence.

Fiodora Akimova is a mixed-media artist specializing in installations, video, and objects. Born in 1987 in Kyiv, she began her creative career as an illustrator after obtaining her first degree in Printmaking and Graphic Design. In 2010, she moved to Russia, first to Kaliningrad, then to Saint Petersburg, where she studied set design and staging. This degree in Theater Decoration and Scenography had a significant influence on her artistic development, as she integrated various techniques and crafts into her work. Since March 2022, Fedora has been living and working in Tbilisi (Georgia) and Paris. Before February 24, her works resembled plastic experiments used to express global civilizational and philosophical issues, reflecting an escapism into a hypothetical world devoid of humanity. The full-scale invasion, her relocation, and the complete upheaval of her daily life led her to reevaluate her identity and artistic strategy. Her "pre-war" research and artistic themes lost their relevance, pushing her to reinvent her artistic language.
