Biomimetic Sensuality №4

The series "Biomimetic sensuality" reflects on physicality and societal acceptance in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine. This series delves into the new realities faced by people who have lost limbs and are forced to learn to live with artificial prosthetics. It explores societal reactions and perceptions of sensuality and emphasises the challenges that individuals face in reclaiming their sense of dignity and bodily autonomy. The series consists of 10 linocuts depicting nude female figures with artificial limbs. The figures are portrayed in relaxed, confident poses, symbolising the outward confidence. However, the internal emotional landscape of these figures remains a poignant question: are they as calm and confident inside as they appear on the outside? The use of red hair symbolises the explosions and violence of the war, which have caused both visible (external) and invisible (internal) traumas. Edition: 1/10
