Description of the artwork «ТЫЖЕДЕВОЧКА»

"You're a girl" — these words every woman hears while growing up. The phrase with each repetition becoming more and more vital program, limiting and shaping the internal need to follow someone opened the rules instead of living life to the fullest, trust yourself. "You're a girl" age successfully replaced by "a woman needs" and is inherited. Potential, regardless of gender, are born with any man, vrezalsya merciless scissors seamstress. Talent that is always rebelling against meaningless customs, not able to open. All this is framed by a ruffle of "higher purpose" — or was crucified on it? and the bride is ready.

The work entered the top 10 projects of feminist art assessment platform "HEADQUARTERS":
Artist from Almaty immortalized deadly cliche, having a crucifix in a greasy towel. The needlework is usually associated with painstaking workmanship appears here deliberately rude, out pushed out a Bad Girl and cut tissues with a blunt axe (along with someone's fingers). Fabric, lace, usual flexible material – under attack a La Luciano Fontana, perepelov while vaginal connotations of cuts. (Oksana Shatalova)
