Painting, 2022
St Mary devotion is a characteristic feature of Catholicism. A centuries-old tradition has become a law that controls the morality and spiritual identity of the next generations. The picture is not a typical, beautiful figure of the Madonna. It is an inversion/destruction of a classical image, which becomes a symbol of modern world. At the same time, it brings on an element of anxiety, danger and announce the upcoming changes. The image is incomplete, shows the divisions that reflect the emotions of many people.
It is the representation of one of the most important pillars of the catholic identity and at the same time it is not, because it does not represent the calm, trustful face of the mother - guardian. The image is broken, cracked, destructed. This disappointment, sorrow and bitterness is a symbol of wounded trust. It is not enough to „just be” today. There is a need of something more, need to undergo changes that give the degraded values a new quality.
