Anikó Boda: Black Irises

This large-scale interior scene creates an uncanny tension between domestic calm and looming catastrophe. A black, smoke-like curtain pours down the staircase, symbolizing the threat and destruction of war—particularly the bombing of civilian homes in Ukraine. In contrast, a cluster of black irises pushes through the doorway and across the wooden floor, standing for both grief and the persistence of life. The scene is rich in symbols of memory and resilience, quietly asserting that beauty and hope can still grow amid devastation.
