Series of works "Society, Gender and Absurdity"
This series of illustrations ridicules modern social, political and cultural norms through the prism of sarcasm and irony. The works reflect the absurdity of many aspects of life: from gender stereotypes to political ideologies and cultural clichés. The main emphasis is on the discrepancies between society's expectations and reality, on the banality or even absurdity of certain attitudes.
These works raise questions about how social norms and stereotypes are perceived, emphasizing the gap between reality and what is expected of us in modern society.
