The SoftPower installation by Gregory Orekhov reinterprets the traditional sandbag into an air-filled, circular arrangement that encourages pause and reflection. Designed as a departure from conventional defensive barriers, this artwork positions itself within the context of cultural influence, emphasizing non-military forms of engagement. The installation embodies a shift from protection against threats to the preservation of cultural values, highlighting the potential of art to reframe objects typically associated with conflict into representations of openness and resilience.
The installation consists of pillow-like elements stacked into a circular arrangement, defining an enclosed yet accessible space intended for pause and reflection.
SoftPower by artist Gregory Orekhov can be read as a spatial study in material reinterpretation, symbolic transformation, and the capacity of art to reframe objects associated with conflict into forms that suggest openness.
