The artwork captures five distinct pieces of crystalline ice resting against the intensely black volcanic sand oak Icelandic beach. This precise alignment of subjects visually distills the Five Elements in traditional Chinese medicine. Lev uses this stark composition of white clarity against black Earth to assert that the fundamental truths of life balance and the foundation inherited from one's mother are found in the pure structural tension and ordered coexistence of these five elemental forms.
This series strips away color and forces the viewer to confront the raw geometry and profound emotional weight of both the earth and the structures built upon it. By eliminating the visual chaos of the modern palette these works achieve a timeless psychological clarity. The resulting images are deeply atmospheric transforming simple architectural scenes like Little House or monumental forms like Black Church into enduring visual icons defined purely by light and shadow.
By capturing the world in such stark uncompromising contrast these works invite the viewer to engage in a necessary meditation on the enduring drama of nature, the existential solitude of human creation, and the fundamental visual tensions that define our perception of reality. The essence of permanence is found not in hue, but in the crystalline structure of form itself.
