Miss Iceland.UA
This artwork is inspired by the book “Miss Iceland” by the Icelandic author Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir. That is why the artwork’s aesthetic reminds that of a fashion sketch. The face of Miss Iceland here is marked by the traditional element of the Ukrainian motanka doll – the cross. This cross is believed to symbolize connection between the earth and the sky/heaven. Motanka dolls are not usually depicted as fashion models, so this is a modern touch.
