" Breathing " (2023) Original Drawing by Marya

This work was done with a ballpoint pen on office paper A4 , which is glued with tape. I deliberately use the simplest and most non-artistic materials. I want to emphasize the lightness, simplicity, accessibility and illusion of contemporary art.
The work has an almost hypnotic effect. The image is reduced to the bare minimum: only the nostrils and a fragment of the nose remain, enlarged to the scale of an almost architectural object. The white ovals inside the nostrils look like voids, openings or sources of light, transforming breathing into something mechanical and impersonal. There is a sense of closeness that becomes an intrusion: the viewer finds themselves too close to the body, and because of this, it loses its familiar human form.
This work consists of individual sheets of A4 paper, which are glued together with adhesive tape. Along the gluing line, the picture can be bent and folded like an accordion, like a brochure. I am using this opportunity to mail this picture. When you receive this picture, it will be folded like a brochure A4. The picture must be expanded and placed in a graphic frame. This can be easily done by yourself or in any baguette studio.
