An intimate exhibition honoring the wisdom, art, and stories of women living with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. "Dreams Beyond Tomorrow" is a visionary hybrid project by Gala Semenova Photography, created in collaboration with the Womanity Portrait Foundation. Supported by the City of Chula Vista’s Performing and Visual Arts Grant (PVAG), artist Galina Semenova has spent the last year documenting a specific, poignant reality: the dreams of women living with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. The Hybrid Vision: For a woman with a terminal diagnosis, the future is often a landscape of "ifs." There are places they may never visit, milestones they may not reach, and experiences that illness threatens to steal. In this exhibition, Galina Semenova uses a hybrid artistic practice to bridge this gap. By merging traditional fine art portraiture with AI-enhanced digital imagery, Galina does more than take a photo—she realizes a dream. Using the women’s own words and desires, she creates "Visual Manifestations" of the lives they wish to lead. This fusion of reality and digital imagination allows each woman to see herself within her dream, creating a permanent legacy that transcends her diagnosis. The Experience: Fine Art Gallery: A curated collection of large-scale works where classical photography meets cutting-edge digital art to create a "Dreamscape." The Documentary Film: Produced in collaboration with Emmy-nominated and international award-winning filmmaker Erin Pedersen, this cinematic screening moves beyond the lens to capture the powerful stories and shared wisdom of these women. The film explores the profound impact of living in the present moment—how it reshapes our relationships, our quality of life, and our entire living experience. Artist Talk: Galina Semenova shares her journey of capturing these "Dreams," joined by the extraordinary women who served as both the inspiration and the teachers for this project. About the Artist: Galina Semenova is an international award-winning fine art photographer and the Founder & CEO of Womanity Portrait Foundation. Her work is dedicated to reclaiming the "True Self" through self-compassion and visual storytelling. Dreams Beyond Tomorrow represents the intersection of her artistic practice and her humanitarian mission. Why Attend? In a world that is currently so divided and fast-paced, these women are our teachers. They show us how to actually live rather than just "run" every day. Their stories remind us that in the face ofnglobal and political troubles, all we truly have is each other—our families, our friends, and how we treat one another. This project is about fostering that empathy and connection that society often lacks today. I believe we shouldn’t need a terminal illness to start making these changes in our own lives. 1 p.m.: Doors Open & Gallery Viewing 2 p.m.: Documentary Film Screening 3 p.m.: Artist Talk & Participant Panel 3 p.m.: Community Connection Womanity Portrait Foundation on Facebook / Instagram
