Mannequins have become a familiar part of our lives, we look at them to understand how the clothes will look on the figure. Faces don't really matter.
Many mannequins are generally faceless. But sometimes a composition of mannequins can make a strong impression and become an impetus for the creation of a new artwork. Of course, those mannequins did not have masks and they did not have a cat. But the concept was born immediately.
People hide behind various masks in public life.
To some extent, people are also drawn to facelessness, to hiding their emotions and thoughts, while they create their digital avatars in social networks, they want to appear different, better and more interesting to others.
Maybe that's why a lot of attention is paid to catchy clothes, which, on the one hand, create an individual style and image, but on the other hand, hide true "I".
Bird masks symbolize secrecy, rapacity and vulnerability at the same time. People love to play with danger, but they also prefer to be in control of their lives. The cat hunts birds, it is a predator and it is in its nature.
Thus, the picture demonstrates the contradictory personality of the modern person. In pursuit of individuality through external self-expression, a person becomes one of the crowd, a mannequin in bright clothes, and the feeling of control over one's life and destiny is a big illusion.
The painting was at the artist's personal exhibition Quintessence, Chernivtsi Fine Arts Museum, Ukraine.
