Pink Magic

The image shows a female figure wearing traditional Kazakh attire amidst a surreal environment. Inspired by folkloric female creatures, the character uses her long nails and thorn braids as weapons of protection. Through the levitating heart and horses, the figure is casting a spell to rid herself of heartbreak and unhappy memories. The painting uses fantasy as a tool to reflect upon loss and the difficulties of interpersonal relationships. The suspended chain structure and cut-out canvas is meant to create a portal into the world of the character.
