"Shchi" (russian for Cabbage Soup) is a still life that transcends its subject to become a raw portrait of a winter's struggle. It finds a somber poetry in the mundane, romanticizing the melancholy of a difficult season in a Moscow apartment.
The composition captures a moment of potential, not completion. The ingredients — meat, cabbage, onions, potatoes —l ie waiting beside an empty pot, the soup yet to be made. This state of suspension is a powerful metaphor for the artist's own condition during a challenging pregnancy: a feeling of being poised for an action that demands energy she did not possess, caught between the desire to create art and the inescapable burdens of work and domestic duty.
Painted from a place of cold and weariness, the work is a quiet testament to the heavy beauty of a life paused, waiting for its warmth to return.
