The artwork is loosely related to my body of work entitled “Kodada rudá, medzeba baldá” which focused on family memory. It exclusively delved into the oral history passed down through generations within my family. This piece portrays my great-aunt riding a deer that had caught a poacher’s attention. My great-aunt then took care of the deer in the gamekeeper’s lodge. She shared this story with me during my early childhood while combing my hair. Following her passing, no one in my family believed the tale, as they had never heard of it. However, we have since confirmed its authenticity as photographs capturing these moments were discovered years later.
