Untangling (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Tatsiana Yelistratava

Untangling captures the quiet struggle of releasing ourselves from the invisible knots we carry within. Painted, torn, and carefully reconstructed, the fragmented hands reach through a web of tangled cotton threads, reflecting the effort of separating fear from hope, memory from identity, and the past from what is still possible. The work does not depict the moment of liberation, but the courage to begin it.

Part of The Shape of Resilience, this artwork explores resilience as an active process—one thread, one choice, one step at a time.

Ideal for collectors drawn to contemporary figurative and conceptual art that explores identity, emotional transformation, and the complexity of human connection. Its intimate scale makes it well suited for modern, minimalist, Scandinavian, or gallery-inspired interiors, where it creates a thoughtful focal point in living spaces, studies, bedrooms, or creative workspaces.
