title
Floral Dolls
When they see a flower, the first association they usually get is – a woman“.
Are there people who do not like flowers?
If so, then they might be evil or dangerous and not women.
No, women love flowers and are identified with flowers. Both have definitely a special relationship between each other. They want to give them as gifts, know their names, nurture them and cultivate them on balconies and in gardens with this primordial devotion. Flowers are delicate and have bright colors and pleasant shapes and they also smell good! And it is very obvious that women like to adorn themselves with them. Women wear flowers in their hair since women, flowers and hair exist. It is a headdress with amazing effects: daisies make naive immediately, exotic flowers also eroticize the driest clerk. Women adorn themselves with floral fabrics: because beautiful things are usually also beautiful motifs.
I suddenly came to the idea of my pictures.
I like flowers, like any woman, and at home they grow comfortably and bloom.
Once I noticed that my blooming hibiscus throws a strange shadow – the shadow looked like
a woman. This, for me, was a message from nature – that flowers and women are identical.
Since then I experiment, as a woman, with flowers, with light and with shadows.
I create collages of flowers and their parts, which, with special illumination, cast shadows in the form of women‘s silhouettes. Each silhouette is unique and has its own character. The shadow falls only once and never repeats itself, and each of my attempts to repeat the silhouette was unsuccessful. But I think this is a big plus in my work, because in this way, it automatically consolidates my authorship
