According to the artist herself, the paintings from her recent years (the third period), including those selected for the exhibition “I Hang a Chandelier in My Dream of the Unknown City”, serve as meditations on her own existential identity. During this period of her career, the artist's paintings are characterized by a more concise and restricted composition.Notably, the inclusion of diverse urban landscapes, natural scenery, abandoned or residential interior spaces, and frequently recurring figures derived from commemorative photographs or the artist's reminiscences is minimized within the content of the paintings
