Primordial Soup is an exhibition of new paintings by Anastasiya Tarasenko stemming from the trauma of a near-death ectopic pregnancy. The ocean serves as a central metaphor, evoking hormonal flux, emotional instability, and the capacity to both generate and destroy. A small female figure repeats across vast seascapes—riding waves, plunging, suspended between ascent and descent. Humor and brutality coexist throughout, as human and animal figures move through acts ranging from tender to grotesque.
