Lightness

This unique digital illustration was created on 17 May 2023. The artist's note specifies it is a response to Milan Kundera’s novel, The Unbearable Lightness of Being. The work presents a female figure who floats, rejecting what the author described as a desire to be weighed down. Near her floats an injured rabbit, which the artist identifies as a symbol of sensuality from the book. By depicting the figure as unbothered by the rabbit, the artwork presents an alternative to the novel's representation of femininity. This piece directly engages with the literary source the artist cites as foundational to their practice.
