@artvangarde: Paris-based artist Alona Sobolevska creates experimental works combining SFX makeup, prosthetics, fashion and body-based visual art. In this piece, Sobolevska places a delicate ballet pointe shoe inside a trap, creating an immediate contrast between two objects with completely opposite associations. Ballet is usually connected with elegance, precision and beauty, while the trap suggests restriction and danger. By bringing them together, Sobolevska turns a familiar symbol of grace into something suddenly tense and uncomfortable. #scary #niche #avantgarde #artist #art
