Description: "Niki is a mannequin that was created out of admiration for the French sculptor, Niki de Saint Phalle. The work was created during the Swiss Art Expo, and the work was supervised (literally) by L'Ange Protecteur (Guardian Angel) Niki de Saint Phalle. The author of the mannequin used the same color palette used for the Guardian Angel, but according to her own concept. The mannequin has a real mask from Venice, which can be taken off or put on. The mask refers to Gombrowicz's text, according to which we all wear masks, which he called "mouths". Niki uses a mask to hide from the merciless gaze of critics. At the same time, in this way, she refers to the Carnival in Venice, and specifically to the tradition of hiding one's identity"
