This piece is Tatjana Jersova’s final work in the “Воплоти” project, themed around self-portraiture. According to the artist’s vision, the self-portrait was intended to include two key elements: a stable base and interchangeable components – a metaphor for the human personality.

Thus, a hemispherical base with holes and leaf-like elements was created. These elements can be placed into the base, allowing for endless combinations, resulting in a slightly different version of the artwork each time.

The second aspect of the work is interaction – modification as a form of play. The boundary between the art object and the viewer disappears, as the viewer can actively participate in shaping the artwork.

The third aspect explores the idea that during interaction, the artwork or parts of it may be damaged, serving as a metaphor for interpersonal communication.
