About the Artwork:
“The piece ‘MM’ is inspired by the ‘self’. It is an idea that emerged from the story of Narcissus, where the character discovers his/her self reflection. However the piece is not about the overly exaggarated self love and narcissismus, but about self discovery and walking with ‘the self’ with respect and grace. Rather an empowerment of the self versus the madness that could follow up of extreme self ‘love’. The piece is hand drawn in traditional ink and pen style.” – Marina Mika
