There Is No Room For Us Here is an homage 
and recognition of the symbiotic relationship 
between humans, animals, and our natural 
world, both ecologically and spiritually. The 
artwork brought together for this exhibition 
is a poignant reminder on how the language 
of art can be employed as a tool to inspire 
action in addressing the challenges of our 
fragile ecosystem and most importantly, an 
acknowledgement of the sacred 
interconnection between all living things.

The exhibition opens with Monique 
Luchetti’s bird drawings.  Based upon her 
research of the ornithology collection at Yale 
Peabody Museum of Natural History, 
Monique’s drawings are a meditation on the 
contradiction inherent in our rush to collect, 
classify and catalogue the world around us 
in an attempt to fathom its mysteries, even as 
we go about destroying it.

Using migratory birds as her subject, Elena 
Lyakir emotionally engages the viewer in self-
reflection by evoking memory, facilitating 
feeling, and confronting the awareness of 
one’s own state of being.  She believes 
nature to be a sensual, intuitive extension of 
our inner worlds and tries to describe the 
visible world with an existential rather than 
literal interpretation. www.ElenaLyakir.com

Documenting the unexpected beauty and 
fragility of remote New York City parks, Leah 
Oates’ “Transitory Space” photography series 
examines urban habitats and their 
transformations due to the passage of time, 
altered natural conditions through neglect, 
and human imprint. www.LeahOates.com
