Oil on canvas: 50 x 33 cm. Teodora Axente (2021): “In order to define these two sides of the human being, the material and the spiritual, I chose to wrap my characters in cheap but shiny materials such as foil or cellophane ornaments that evoke the individual's dependence on the consumer society but also highlights superficiality. For example, the Becoming series evokes precisely that self-denial of the human being. Self-denial is effectuated in a ritual in which my characters are either on their knees or levitating above a chair from which only the legs remain, indicating the self-struggle”.
