Wolf Girl Sculpture

My sculpture inspired by the Little Red Riding Hood, specifically it is inspired by an early work of Kiki Smith, who has worked extensively with this fairy tale and theme. Her paper sculpture from 1999 named Daughter, shows a girl in a red cloak with her face is covered with hair. When mixing Red Riding Hood with the wolf, Smith draws attention to the relationship between humans and animals, good and evil, and especially men and women. Smith often worked with an idea that a wolf and a girl don't have to be in conflict with each other and that they are more similar than expected. My hairy Little Riding Hood is conscious of the inner masculine part of her personality (her Animus), she is not ashamed and does not try to suppress that part of her. I named my sculpture Wolf Girl and represents for me the ideal woman, one who is in harmony with the male part of her personality. I am also referring to Feral Children (Wolf Children- is a term used in the Czech Republic) / growing up without any contact with human society. We are all born into a certain environment, we accept its norms and opinions, we mostly follow them blindly without thinking deeper about them and they can create personal imaginary prisons in my opinion. A wolf/feral woman who is not burdened with social and gender roles is a woman who is completely free, someone I aspire to be myself one day.
