Gela Mikava

This piece is about distance. Between bodies. Between memories. Between who we are and who we were told to be.
I didn’t create it. I uncovered it.

They Left Us Flags
They gave us symbols.
Flags — but not bread.
The past and the present are written in dust and stains.
I’m still here.⠀

If you show weakness for even a second — they’ll crush you.

Here, tenderness is punished.

In this system, feelings have no value.

The ones who waver — are erased.

In this series, oversized earrings dominate the canvas—so large, they almost consume the figure itself. These exaggerated adornments are more than accessories; they are monuments to a world obsessed with wealth and status.
🔴 When luxury becomes larger than life, does identity disappear?
