"My main interest is looking for signs of mysteries in our life and studying evidences of their penetrations into the real world." -  Elisheva Nesis

This painting is is from a series that is labeled "To Be Strange" and the artist dedicated it "to the borderland between boring norm and social aggression."

This piece is interesting to me in that it represents "wearing different hats."  I think that all of us from time in a sense put on different hats for different situations.  We represent ourselves in different ways depending on who we are trying to relate to.  This piece reminds me that there is freedom in how we choose to represent ourselves.
