This is one of the pictures from the Tutankhamen series.

And your head is always in charge of 

where to land your bottom

Of course, there are many reasons why we do this or that things. Sometimes, society or situation corners us and we have to do some things that go against our beliefs or norms. But, in fact, there is always a choice of what to do and what not to do. Alternatives may be miserable, but there is always a choice, and we should take responsibility for our actions, and not blame the situation or any other pressing factors.

For this picture, I chose a combination of different subjects. The main character is a woman in a very strange coat. If you look closer, you’ll recognize Judith by Klimt. Judith was a pious young widow from the Jewish city of Bethulia. She beheaded Holofernes, general of the Assyrian army that had besieged her city. Judith was able to enter the tent of Holofernes because of his desire for her. Overcome with drink, he passed out and was decapitated by Judith.

Judith is wearing a jacket full of newspapers, magazines and flyers symbolizing the pressure and noise coming from society. Even though the murder of Holofernes considers to be a brave act, because she saved her people from destruction, it’s still a crime that has to be punished. And there are always supported and surrounded by jackals, people without any true beliefs inside who do menial tasks for another.
