Krowni

In her work, Krowni deals specifically with pop culture, feminism, fluidity, post-binary identities and often invisible realities of life.

The work “The three disgraces” shows a new interpretation of the three graces known from Greek mythology. They are considered symbols of joy, beauty, art and fertility. In contrast to other well-known depictions, however, the figures here are not depicted unclothed and rejoicing, but rather lying lazily and almost bored on the couch. “To be a woman is to perform” describes the need of many women to constantly stage themselves, to look at themselves from the outside and to mask themselves at the expense of their own identity. The figures in the picture defy these subconscious habits and defend themselves against the male gaze within a patriarchal society. The title alludes to the type of condemnation that women and girls are exposed to as soon as they deviate from the expectations placed on them.
