Fig. 3 on Leonardo da Vinci. My latest project, Dialogue, explores the intersection of past and present, reinterpreting historical themes of gender inequality and the female role in society through a contemporary lens. For the Fig. 3 I superimpose iconic Leonardo da Vinci painting "Lady with an Ermine" with self-portraits interwoven with elements of floral still life. The recurring motif of flowers and the female figure symbolises two intertwined forces—both nurturing and life-giving—offering a poetic reflection on strength, femininity, and transformation.
