Series of photographs corresponds with the motive of hair in the history of art. In these works, similar to this tradition, the hair represents femininity, eroticism, Vanitas, demonism and death. Specifically the red hair (Maria Magdalena of Tizian etc). The works focus on hair, fur and artificial broom's fibers. The photographs reminisce the Courbes' painting "Origin of the world" which is considered blatant nudity. The hybrid of the woman and the broom relate (with a sense of humor) to the woman as an obliged housemaid and as a witch. In contrast of the muscular and strong horse in motion ridden by a man, I present the horse's feminine form motionless in a context of female nude.
