Depicted is a male leg with black leg hair. As an artist, I did not hide this element because this is real life, our hair really grows, it is part of our bodies. The man and his nature. Also shown is red blood and this is the intelligence of life.
Series “Terra Our Own”
The parallels between our own body and the body of the planet we inhabit is what is the concept of this series.
The artist stretches the canvases by hand on her own. Terra selects the canvas for each work separately. As canvases she uses burlap of different density and texture, cotton fabrics, mixed textiles, art canvases and others.
