This artwork explores the silent struggle of a woman caught between expectation and choice. She is a puppet, suspended by scarlet threads, yet the puppeteer remains unseen. Is she controlled by others, by society, or by her own fears?
The skeletal frame of her skirt recalls a time when a woman's destiny was confined to family and children. Though the world has changed, the cage remains—different in shape, but just as binding. She could resist, break free, cut the strings. But instead, she hangs motionless, her arms outstretched in a crucified pose, her eyes downcast in quiet surrender.
She is not bound by force but by the weight of expectation, by the role imposed upon her—a beautiful doll, admired yet powerless.

Presentation
Leah Larisa Bunshaft @Dizlarka was born in Ukraine, spent her youth in Russia. Later she emigrated to Israel and currently lives and works in Barcelona (Spain).
She holds an MA from the Arts and Construction Department in The Novgorod State University. Leah`s post-graduate studies include advanced courses in graphic design, photography, art history, psychology and creativity, artistic strategizing programs
Trauma received in childhood, youth in the 90's in Russia and changes of countries influenced the choice of themes of the artist. A key theme in Leah's artworks is the vulnerability of the fragile human being in this insecure world. She explores her own vulnerability in the ever-changing conditions of contemporary reality, issues of femininity, women's life, feminism and self-identity. She is also fascinated by the theme of time, the cycles of life and death, change in the process of time, and the complex relationship between humans and time.
Her work begins with the idea she wants to figuratively convey to the viewer and the feelings she wants to evoke by doing so. From this she chooses one of the many mediums she works with: painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, digital art, embroidery, monotype, graphics, hand prints and mixed media techniques
Leah participated in solo and group exhibitions. Her artworks are included in private collections in the USA, Canada, Russia, Israel, Spain, Japan, Germany, Denmark.
