ARTWORK STORY
I was developing a completely different idea for a collage using heads and eyes in February, but the work stalled and I remained paralysed by the war, which is no more than 1000 miles from my atelier in Prague, frustrated by the online coverage that appeared under #Kyiv in the early days of the war, with the horror of HIGH ALERT tweets announcing the coming bombing, everything seemed useless and I threw the work off the table.
But then I saw silhouettes of women hiding in bunkers in the unfinished collages and decided to fight evil with art, the only weapon I know to use.
CREATIVE PROCESS
With paintbrush and scissors in hand, I found a minimalist composition in colour drops, black silhouettes and contrasting eyes to create a series of 300 women who share the same fate, are very similar, yet each one is unique.
All parts of the collage are photographed and divided into three types
Mother - anfas
Sister - profile
Daughter - semi-profile
Each of these three types is composed of 3 layers, each layer consists of several states
Mother / rarity 43%
Top layer - eyes and lips / 13 states
Middle layer - silhouettes / 6 states
Bottom layer - drops / 4 states
Sister / rarity 14%
Top layer - eyes and lips / 5 states
Middle layer - silhouettes / 6 states
Bottom layer - drops / 4 states
Daughter / rarity 43%
Top layer - eyes and lips / 7 states
Middle layer - silhouettes / 8 states
Bottom layer - drops / 4 states
ORIGINAL COLLAGE
Bursting with colour and then blackened, eyes and lips cut out, coloured drops on the background.
