I deal with topics such as social and gender standards at present and mythological concept and I am also interested in imagination as such, recently mainly the child's. I try to express these topics imaginatively.

In the picture is the Vltava, respectively the fairy Vltava, which lies at the bottom of the river under the water lilies and is "uprooted" or "rooted". In the picture I connected the motif of helplessness and emancipation. The roots in which the fairy is recessed is connected to the butterfly wing and creates an unclear feeling when we do not know whether we can take off, or this formation weighs and remains under the surface without the possibility to free ourselves.
