Artwork is dedicated to modern consumption society and the place of woman in it. In the life of modern man densely entered expressions with a prefix “Fake”. We hear it from the first persons of the state on TV or read it in the publications of internet bloggers. But each of them puts in it his own understanding. And indeed, there are many fakes around us. This situation affects all areas of our lives and should find its echo in contemporary art. With the help of my work I want to formulate what this means to me, how I see fake reality. Because in the modern world, not everything is actually what we think. Many things have different meaning. Sometimes it is difficult to understand the true essence of things now. In the modern multipolar and multinational world, art and art objects got dissolved in the routine human life. Modern consumer society creates fake idols.
