This new piece for my ongoing series ‘Hidden Place’ is a homage to Frida Kahlo who often portrayed flowers and orthopedic corsets in her paintings. The inscription on the board “DIES LUNAE A.D. III ID. IVL. MMDCCVII A.U.C.” is the date when Frida died (July 13, 1954). This work also depicts my personal experience dealing with acute back pain and treatment.

I love this even more after seeing how it’s made. Vlad and I were both so impressed. 5+
Thank you! This turned out to be one of my favorite pieces too. Looking forward to the next one :)
