The creative practice behind the "Gentle Spiral" exhibition embraces a deliberate deceleration—a thoughtful approach that allows for precision and contemplation. Working within a fleeting three-hour window of optimal light, Kulakova crafts delicate compositions that challenge gravitational forces. These ikebana-inspired arrangements balance with remarkable fragility, where even subtle environmental shifts might disrupt their precarious harmony. This process invites a meditative state that becomes fundamental to the work's essence.

Kristina transforms seemingly disparate objects through careful arrangement, bestowing aesthetic value upon collections of dadaistic elements. "Elements whose incompatibility is no longer questioned once they have aesthetic value," as she notes—reflecting how diverse components can coalesce into meaningful relationships. The photographs presented in "Gentle Spiral" capture these ephemeral sculptures at their moment of perfect tension, offering viewers a space to reflect on the delicate interplay between structure and spontaneity, permanence and transience.
