"Hit" (2023) Original Drawing by Marya

This work was done with a ballpoint pen on office paper, 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.
Against a dense, almost endless grid, a barely discernible silhouette of a palm emerges, like a print or a ghostly presence. The white ovals of the fingers stand out as voids, whilst the circle in the centre resembles simultaneously a scanner, an eye, a target and a sensor. The thick line entering it creates a sense of connection or signal transmission. The image balances between biometrics and mysticism: here, the hand is no longer merely a part of the body, but an interface through which recognition, control or an attempt at communication takes place. Despite the austerity of the composition, a sense of fragility and loneliness pervades the work — as if human presence were dissolving into an infinite coordinate system.
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 taking 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.
