works is a recurring theme throughout her
portfolio. The human figure is often portrayed in
the urban environment as an integral part of it,
always moving and never static. They are not
merely citizens, but one could consider people to
be the lifeblood of any city, motivating any kind of
activity and becoming the very soul of the area
regardless of night and day.


Levyathan handles excellently both the depiction
of the faceless masses that operate in any urban
landscape and the most individual approach of a
singular human being portrayed in a personal
manner. The first is something intriguing as it can
strongly correlate with the feelings that anyone
has once visited a real buzzing metropolis, as
people become a crowd, being charming and
menacing at the same time. These figures translate
into a mirror for the viewer, they are highly self-
referring. This element is crucial to creating an
active dialogue with the viewers, enabling them to
ponder freely on the interpretation of the images
presented. Such a characteristic is essential in any
contemporary approach to visual art, as a
continued narrative might restrain and potentially
tire the viewers.


On the other hand, sometimes throughout her
work, one can see a more realistic showcase of
people, who are not faceless and stand out,
becoming the focus of the given photograph.
