Images of faceless women—without expressive hands or feet, yet conveying a sense of choice, the possibility of change, and individuality—had long unsettled the artist, but they always took a back seat to other projects. They lacked a specific question or the clear thought that usually sparks movement in her artistic practice.
However, these images persisted, and Aglaya decided to explore their meaning through the very process of creation.
As she immersed herself in the work, the philosophy of the project gradually took shape; the artworks themselves seemed to suggest their own content and even their title.
"Woman-Function" is a series of works about the function embedded in every woman's body. It is about how, whether a woman follows this function or not, it remains a part of her identity, and rejecting it means rejecting a part of herself.
The artist does not seek to moralize or promote anything. For her, it is important to look honestly into her own nature, into herself—without filters, fears, or social pressure. What is this image like? Exploring this question, she shares her lived experience with the viewer.
