    Elena Subach, Chairs, 2022 "I photographed chairs with the objects left on them, since they seemed to me like islands among waves of people, that is, places where one could stop and rest for a moment. And then all these people, like the waves, disappeared over the horizon, the unknown awaited them, but I know for sure: they all dream of returning home." Elena Subach
