23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Бытовая Семейная Романтика

From Love to Hate This project explores the artist’s relationships with men at different stages of her life. Drawing from her personal experience of heterosexual relationships, Olga reflects on love, sex, friendship, jealousy, rivalry, disappointment, and other conflicting emotions that arise in her interactions with men. Using ironic metaphors and everyday objects, she creates still-life compositions that tell intimate stories – whether they last just moments or span years. The artist is intrigued by both fleeting emotions and deep, thoughtful feelings. She finds inspiration in everything from failed speed dates to long-term romantic connections.
