"ARCHITECTURES OF CARE"

Elena Shaura’s exhibition Architectures of Care examines how early human vulnerability is shaped by structures, both emotional and engineered, that surround it. Working with aluminum engraving, the series contrasts soft, intimate forms with the rigid geometry of diagrams and blueprints, revealing care as a phenomenon that is simultaneously experienced, constructed, and regulated

In these works, tenderness takes the form of a diagram, while protection is expressed through the infrastructure that holds the beginning of life within systems designed to guide, limit, or define it.

Child Support Network (Past)

"Child Support Network" juxtaposes the tender outline of a mother and child with the strict logic of a circuit diagram. The piece merges stippled softness with precise technical lines, balancing emotional presence with industrial clarity. The bond between mother and child appears both delicate and enduring: held within a network where safety becomes structure and affection becomes connection.

Early Learning (Study)

"Early Learning" introduces a recurring toy bear as a vessel for early emotional experience. Through minimal, finely engraved forms, the work reflects on vulnerability and memory, placing the small, soft figure within large structural frameworks that suggest both shelter and constraint. As an early chapter in the artist’s visual language, the series touches on themes of tenderness, precarity and the instinctive search for protection within larger systems.
