.-sepiaEYE is presenting Thrall (2017-2020), a solo online exhibition by Qiana Mestrich. By integrating the outdoor studio, staged portraiture, still life, and family photography, Mestrich externalizes her thoughts around recent political, social, and cultural discussions on white supremacy and Black consciousness.
I was inspired to create this work during a visit to a museum with my children, when we encountered a towering statue of Pandora in front of a large window. In Greek mythology, Pandora is the first woman created by the gods and this sculpture (made in 1871 by Chauncey Bradley Ives) depicts her in the act of opening the box/jar containing humanity s evils.

Award-winning London-based Estonian photographer Sirli Raitma has an exhibition opening today, Thursday, at Tallinn s Linnamuuseum, Estonia s embassy in the United Kingdom has announced.
The exhibition, entitled Eha , consits of a photo narrative of the artist s mother, which, the museum says, carry a general human background familiar to all viewers.
Raitma s works are joined together by a humorous approach to a sensitive subject, and show the photographer s skill in capturing her mother s struggle and pride, which in turn illustrates the ability of portraits to express loss and induce memories.
