If you stop and think about it, the matryoshka makes two opposing statements- on one hand it empowers the individual (within each of us, a nation) but on at the same time, it trivializes the individual by relegating them to a hierarchy
In one sense, all dolls do this implicitly but only the matryoshka does this explicitly, which makes their message both unique and strong. Also, the nesting action is just so damn cool
Interesting philosophical viewpoint, and lovely photo.
Very interesting perspecrive and gorgeous works!
I tend to relate to things in obscure ways, which often yields a unique perspective that I can apply to my work
Nice work, I like this kinds of dolls.
Matryoshka and kokeshi are my favorite dolls
absolutely perfect!!!!!!
I am glad to hear you think so
I’ve never had any of these dolls.
That’s a shame, but you can still enjoy them on a conceptual level
A unique and unusual work.
Nothing less for these unique and unusual dolls
I love these dolls Alex. How beautiful, and the details and colors are great.
Sometimes advanced concepts are hiding in children’s toys, like matryoshkas and Hanoi towers
You have the eye to find the beauty and present it to us.
