Kërçova bride

Hatching (80 cm × 100 cm)

My interpretation of my partner as a bride from Kërçova, Albania. The old brides of Kërçova would wear golden ornaments worth millions of dollars. The flowers and symbols represent the illyrian belief of worshipping nature, sun and moon. The instrument in the background is the lahutë (gusle) a traditional albanian instrument.
Thank you!
