Lacuna 1.0, "Grandma's Scarf" series

In Ukraine, a scarf is a symbol of deep femininity, an attribute of everyday magic, and a sign of belonging to a family. A quadrangular piece of cloth was used at the birth of a child and as a talisman for loved ones. At the same time, he covered the girl's hair only, but she turned into a woman. The colors and method of wearing changed depending on the situations that happened along the way.

"Grandma's scarf" is a demonstration of the existence of a modern woman through the prism of the magic of ancestral memory. The series consists of 7 works, where each picture is a chthonic image, one of the manifestations of a wild woman. The one who knows no limits and has the courage to show his own essence, live the natural cycle, and perceive the world as it is. When creating images, Anna Moskalets used real scarves of her grandmother, which enhances the authentic energy of the paintings.
In almost all works, faces and bodies are hidden under large scarves. So specific features do not interfere with seeing the truth. The ancient soul of the wild woman speaks through the interplay of colors and sensual patterns. Grandma's scarf is not a static decoration, it changes, dies, and is reborn, attaches consciousness to itself, and plays with the male part of the female nature. However, the magical colors of the "Beaded Shawl" can disappear under the pressure of fear of feeling your own wild woman.
