Call Me, Larry!

This project explores a woman’s journey in the modern art world, where every object on the canvas is a metaphor for her ambitions, memories, and aspirations for success. It combines personal history, social critique, and dreams of recognition. The artist’s path is a transformative process in which each element carries significant cultural and ersonal symbolism.
The central element is an Egyptian spoon, symbolizing the artist’s connection to culture and her own history as a woman, creator, and explorer.
Surrounding it are royal playing cards, symbolizing male dominance, ironically highlighting that the artist herself controls the "game."
Buddhist prayer flags remind us of spiritual lessons, while the rocking horse represents suppressed childhood ambitions.
A wisdom tooth symbolizes pain and growth, while matches and candles embody the fleeting nature of success.
Silk hearts and sarcastic affirmations express her pursuit of recognition despite existing barriers.

In the modern art world, a woman’s path to success is a constant struggle against entrenched patriarchal structures, where men traditionally occupy dominant positions. This theme deeply resonates with the work of the Guerrilla Girls, who have spent decades challenging gender inequality and biases in the art world, shedding light on injustice and discrimination.

The project becomes a voice addressing society, demanding equal rights and opportunities for women in art. Like the Guerrilla Girls, who use their works and protests to highlight gender inequality, the artist, through this project, demonstrates that every step on the path to success is a challenge to the system. The artist aims to dismantle established norms and create a space where women’s achievements are valued equally with men’s.
