In 'Life in Stone,' Daria Shcherba invites us to see ruins not as remnants of death, but as living containers of memory. The central figure—a weathered stone lion—emerges from the dust of an ancient landscape, its eroded features still holding a watchful, knowing spirit. Through her mastery of light and texture, Shcherba suggests that while the civilizations that carved these monuments are long gone, the stones themselves continue to live, breathe, and guard the secrets of the past.
