What Do you See?

Story: Western women tend to feel superior to the women of the less developed countries. We think that being under the male rule they don’t have even freedom to think. We don’t see that we are blindfolded by the fashion trends that forces us to be something we can’t or don’t want to be and that makes us feel that we are not good as we are. Looking through the eyes of other women, we can share their wisdom.

Venus series: The fore-mother for my Venus series is the Venus of Willendorf, also know the Woman of Willendorf. This 4.3 high (11cm) figurine was found 1908 by archaeologist Josef Szombathy at a paleolithic site near Willendorf, a village in Lower Austria near the city of Krems. It is estimated to be made between 24,000 and 22,000 BCE. The figurine is carved from a type of lime stone that isn’t found at the local area and tinted with red ochre.

    The Story: This shadow box with it’s labeled specimens could be found at a museum of the future. It depicts how women’s bodies have been shaped at the whim of the fashion over the millennials. Should the prevailing trend of big boobs continue, sooner or later there will be a big bang leaving us wondering what is next. Don’t forget to quote me if/when one day you can buy a boob-kit from a pharmacy and DIY like you would color your own hair.

  • Bag Lady: A Goddess Figurine

    By Pirjo Polari-Khan

    The shape of this piece is based on the form of a goddess figurine from the Cycladic period. Cyclades are a small group of Greek islands in southern Aegean Ocean. Leafing through the books about ancient goddesses I wonder about the significance of their shape, pose and the accessories they carry. If this piece was found thousand years from now, people might think that women were obsessed about hang bags then. And they would be right!
