My practice explores the relationship between text and the body.
Working with light-based projections and photographic images, I investigate how language operates beyond communication, becoming a force that shapes perception and embodiment. In these works, text is no longer stable — it fragments, moves across surfaces and reconfigures the body within space.
Rather than conveying meaning, language acts as pressure: enveloping, distorting and transforming presence. The body becomes a site where text is absorbed, resisted and rewritten.

Elena Shaura is an artist working between Paris, London and Monaco.
Her practice explores the relationship between language, body and spatial systems. Through photographic works, installation and light-based environments, she investigates how text operates beyond communication, becoming a material force that shapes perception and embodiment.
Her recent projects examine the instability of authorship and the transformation of meaning across bodies and space.
Shaura has exhibited internationally, including in Paris, London and Luxembourg, and her work spans image, installation and text-based research.
