Fig. 1 on Vermeer. 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.1 I superimpose iconic Vermeer painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring" 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.
