Țara arde și baba se piaptănă

Red and orange flames above; a woman combing her hair below. The papier-mâché relief illustrates the Romanian saying “the country burns while the old woman combs her hair” and my concern about indifference to environmental problems.

The two actions sit side by side, their mismatch creating the scene’s bitter humour. That distance can be read through colour, position and volume.
