'In white' is a self portrait of the artist. She captures herself wearing a white, wedding dress, a silver and turquoise necklace and a colourful turban or her head. Inspired by paintings of old masters from Middle East and also by representation of odalisques by Matisse, Joanna uses a bright colourful pallet, strong patterns and central composition in her new painting. The woman is sitting on the carpet in her bright living room, she seems to be frozen in her position but at the same time there is a feeling of motion. She thinks about passing time and her future. The artist again plays with a different textures and contrasting colours. She uses an expressive brushstrokes to create a movement and energy in the scene.
