In her exhibition In the Quiet, Solonyka explores the expression of women as they existentially assess their current situation, connecting their plight in a singular, unified voice of strength. The movement from ostracism and injustice toward confidence, defiance, and empowerment is communicated through a series of photographic expressions. Using self-portraits to universally communicate the individual’s psyche, she portrays women and the evolution of their identity in the 21st century.
