From LIFE IS DANCE series.
In Lament Stepanova positions the solitary figure of a woman next to a panel with three women in motion. Is the solitary figure a dancer, a high fashion model? Is the tattered dress that she is wearing hinting at violence? Or is she wearing one of Jean-Paul Gaultier’s wild creations? And what about the three women who appear to be singing and dancing? Are they celebrating some holiday or are the part of a funeral procession? Again, the artist, exploring the dualities of life, leaves us to our own devices to solve the mystery of what we are looking at.
