Creating this little sculpture, I had in mind the suppression of women in general, but specifically during all recent changes in Afghanistan. To me, it is very difficult to imagen life with all the restrictions women face there in daily life. The hand over the mouth is firmly attached by very strong, difficult-to-remove, rusted nails.

Margaret Stawicki is a Polish Canadian, contemporary artists based in Mississauga. Her work is not representational, it is rather a bit abstracted. She likes to create illusion of vast empty spaces, with somewhat symbolic elements to convey absents, isolation and memory and her paintings can be described as modern or narrative, emotional, energetic, and imbalanced.
