HOLD THE LIGHT is a Photo Art Exhibit created by Olha Onyshko to Celebrate Ukraine’s 34th Independence Day!
Onyshko calls her photographs of collages, assembled while in nature, that mirror or reflect light “Light Remedies,.” She uses crystals and water as her “lens filter” to build communication bridges between human consciousness and the elements – Fire/Light, Earth, Air, Gold/Metal, Wood, Water, as well as Sound to create harmony between the visible material world and the invisible realm of subtle energy. Onyshko blends her visual storytelling training with ancient wisdom from the healing arts to apply light and color as a powerful remedy and heal what needs to be healed in a human soul to bring Balance and Peace.
