Natasha Kravchenko, “Untitled,” 2022
(Edmonton, Alberta – January 27, 2024)
Art Gallery of Alberta announces InFocus Photo: Identity Ether, a showcase of images which explore the concept of Self through a tapestry of cultural and societal ideologies, career, creativity, death, the psyche.
PennWest Professor Natasha Kravchenko is one of eleven photographers included in the exhibition, on display until March 31.
At present Kravchenko’s fine art photography centers on exploring the intricate dynamics between individuals’ inner and outer worlds. In an attempt to combine psychology and art in her research, she intends to demonstrate people’s inner struggles, feelings, emotions, despair, hopes, conflicts, differences, and reconciliation with themselves.
“Focusing on the interaction of the external and internal allows people to think about their souls,” says Kravchenko. “The analysis of the inner and outer worlds of people’s personalities gives different options for self-development and allows individuals to become harmoniously developed and integral personalities.”
