Project description
I grew up in a Communist country and for me the red star is aways a symbol of that system and ideology. This work is not political only, but expresses my troubles seeing a lot of westerners going to the place (metaphorically) in which I was raised until 1989. Yes, the star is disappearing, but the order of the canvases can change any time. SS
