Gathering of Matryoshkas (1/2)

List item

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
