Son of Fatherland

 
 

This series delves into the aspect of cultural identity and its significance in today’s globalized world.

What fascinates me about this topic is the way we choose to foreground certain aspects of our cultural heritage – whether because we appreciate the values  they represent or because they inherently shape our sense of self.

These works draw inspiration from R. Magritte’s “The Son of Man” but focus on the contrast and interplay between the global and the local, and the subjective nature of cultural identity.
