The author’s project “Repulse” is dedicated to reflecting on the act of response to threat — primarily military threat. It addresses both personal and collective experience.
This exhibition is an attempt at a creative interpretation and rethinking of the choice faced by a Christian, civilized community: how to respond, how to act, how to cut off temptations of despair, passivity, fear, or moral compromise. The project offers examples of strategies that stand in opposition to relativism, hesitation, and appeasement.
Through biblical, apocryphal, and hagiographic narratives, the artist turns to iconographic images of decisiveness, zeal, strength, hope, and justice. She sees in holy warriors and angels symbolic models of ethical choice — a story of the victory of good not despite the struggle, but through it.
From Old Testament battles to the visions of Revelation, this exhibition affirms: good does not triumph automatically. Its power lies in effort, in faithfulness, in the refusal to yield to evil. Its triumph is in God’s presence with those who stand for the truth.
