2008 – 2009
In this series I try to reflect the omnipresent “war” of today’s women with the world surrounding them.
On one hand I criticize that nowadays society expects from women unrealistic results in many aspects.
On the other hand I also aim criticism at women, because they themselves put up with these unrealistic
criteria and strive to comply with them. I choose well known symbols as a gun, flower heart…
and I am using this cliché symbols on the purpose. I work with it; I build on it a new composition
with readable meanings. Dark beats applied to perforated spots on the pieces of jewellery are a symbolic
reminder of a gunshot – a bullet – an attack. They are made out of different materials – hematite,
marble, glass, steel and pearl-shell.
