Ima and Ima

8'x10' Fine Art Giclee Print on eco-friendly hemp paper - Unframed

Two figures are intertwined, inspired by the fluid and intricate forms of Art Nouveau jewelry. The piece is titled "Ima" and "Ima," a deliberate play on words. In the artist's native Russian, "imya" means "name," while "imma" is colloquial English slang for "I am." By omitting a letter from each word, the title creates a subtle yet profound connection between identity and existence, reflecting the unnamed yet intimately connected figures. This duality invites viewers to ponder the fluidity of names and selfhood when it comes to the connections we create and the relationships we have.
