The form of the piece embodies the duality of strength and vulnerability. The broad, assertive hips symbolize female power, while the long, slender neck suggests fragility. This duality speaks to the yearning for independence and autonomy, alongside the accompanying feelings of vulnerability and isolation.

The dragon-like spine highlights the human need for self-protection against societal pressures to preserve one's integrity. The makeup, stiffened into a mask with no face beneath, presents the tragedy of lost gender identity and the roles imposed by modernity. How true are we to ourselves when we try to conform to societal expectations?

This creation arises from Gregor Gáll's sense that humanity faces a threat to its own existence. The sculpture critiques the incompetent, distorted ideology of modernity, which has led many of us to the brink of personal tragedy. The idol of the mentally engineered, masculine-spirited woman ruthlessly exposes the flaws and confusion within society.

What does it mean to be a woman or a man in this distorted civilization? Where do we belong in this society? What masks do we wear, and what lies behind them? Are we capable of rediscovering our true selves and identities in an increasingly homogenized world? Gregor Gáll’s work invites us to ponder these questions, and perhaps, to find our own answers.
