Self-portrait. I would like to look at myself the way I look at others.

The project, which began as a series of paintings, was transformed into a series of practices of interaction, mutual support and co-creation. The participants of the project - the artist herself, her friends, close and barely known women - through collective practices tried to feel, verbalize and record what characterizes each of them as an individual. In the process of work it became clear that women's world is not a "picture" - not a limited set of images, but a complex system of relationships, interactions, emotional ties, inner experiences. It is a world of many individual stories and experiences, an unlimited variety of options for self-representation.
