Elena Soroka

Elena Soroka, a contemporary Russian artist, delves into the intricate realm of women's self-awareness, meticulously examining it through the lens of societal stereotypes and prejudices. Her artistic exploration likens deviations from expected behavioral patterns to a glitch effect, a concept that challenges the ideal transmission of images in digital culture. Elena perceives the glitch as an inconsistency, a social glitch that manifests as a form of self-expression through the intentional violation of programmed standing orders.

In her creative endeavors, Elena Soroka uniquely expresses the glitch effect using the Central Asian ikat ornament. This ornament, for her, serves as a visual representation of society, carrying special significance due to her upbringing in Tashkent, where the oriental ornament became ingrained in her aesthetics.

The focal point of Elena's research is the criteria by which women compare themselves with others, reflecting on the relativity of societal patterns that influence women's acceptance of imposed roles and assessments of their personal value. Her artistic statement encapsulates her individual experiences, narrating the story of her personal journey in search of identity.

Elena Soroka contends that, under the weight of preconceptions and prejudices, women often dissolve within their surroundings. However, she vehemently believes that individuals should not relinquish their values to the mercy of established opinions. Through her creativity, Elena urges women to subject themselves to introspective scrutiny, fostering an awareness of the societal burden placed upon them by stereotypical thinking. Her ultimate goal is to empower women to make decisions for their lives that are free from publicly accepted stereotypes and imposed opinions.
