Lightness

This illustration is inspired by the book "The unbearable lightness of being" written by Milan Kundera. It is not a direct take from it but rather a conversation with the book. "In the love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man's body" Milan Kudera writes.

This illustration is portraying a different woman than Tereza, she no longer desires to be weighed down by the man's body. In fact, She does not need the weight at all and floats instead. The injured rabbit also floats around her and she seems to be unaware or unbothered by it (Rabbit is a symbol of the man's sensuality that Milan Kundera mentions in the last chapter of the book). At the same time the woman in the illustration is not invalidating Tereza as a woman.
