Collage, paper


Inspiration: I made several collages, remembering some of the works of René Magritte, particularly his famous work "this is not a pipe." I thought that the girl's face in the collage could be replaced by some other object, so instead of a face I made a bouillaga like a school skirt and glued it on. Probably there is a moment of feminism here—when a man does not see the face and personality of a woman, but only her belonging to the gender. A woman is a bird to catch. These women in the collage are like sirens floating in the air with black eyes in an imaginary forest, flowers are larger than herself—maybe it was all born from a fairy tale.
