Incentive
It was an honor to participate at the Research Festival ARTikulationen 2020 in KWDS KunstUni Graz, Austria with a new miniature project “Incentive”, which was my contribution to the format of “Intermezzo” / Songs without words – a nonverbal reflection of specific artistic research.
A special thanks goes to Denis Zhdanov for helping me create and produce this work.

A review of this image by lensculture.com:
“[…] a bold red color palette immediately grabs our attention. This image also possess is a strong implied narrative. Botanicals grow out of the back of this young woman. As viewers, we are encouraged to consider why this phenomenon is taking place. Has she become one with nature? Has she had some sort of spiritual awakening? This image facilitates a conversation with the viewer which can be an effective way of engaging your audience.”
