The imagery created by Maria Micha draws on The Scarlet Flower by Sergey Aksakov. In the artist’s interpretation, the flower acquires the status of a symbol of desire, while its color becomes a metaphor for energy—both fragile and powerful. The heroine is portrayed in a process of self-discovery and reflection on female sexuality. The female body is presented in dialogue with nature, water, and flora. Here, the mythical becomes real, while reality turns into abstraction—making the images resemble visions that reveal themselves only from certain angles.

Water is the central element of the exhibition. A constant companion to both the heroine and the viewer, it embodies the fluidity and mutability of female nature. Through water imagery, the artist explores the complex and shifting boundaries between the personal and the universal, reality and imagination. For the exhibition, Russian sound artist Leonid Kurashov created a special soundscape based on transformations of audio fragments—such as the murmur of a stream, falling drops, splashes, and other sounds—reshaped into new harmonics. This additional auditory layer creates a sense of depth and volume within the space, significantly enhancing the viewer’s immersive experience of the exhibition’s mystical atmosphere.
