Inspired by life events; often cloudy memories from my upbringing in Poland and slavic “witchery”, superstitions and proverbs. In the 'old days' the world was explained in myths and legends and pagan superstitions have intermingled with Christian customs and believing in superstitions in Poland is still quite common and diverse. This piece is a talisman for those searching for personal healing and artistic inspiration. The subject holds an egg (which was placed underneath my cot when I was a baby) and a red ribbon draped over one of the lilies in the vase (which aims to drive away evil spirits and any bad luck charms).
