Twist Of Historical Parallels 2018

"Twist Of Historical Parallels" (2018) by Michael Cheval depicts a woman in a large, white powdered wig, adorned with a birdcage atop her head, standing in a cage, her dress billowing around her. The woman's attire, along with the setting's deep blue and purple hues, suggest a historical theme, possibly referencing the 18th century. The cage, a symbol of confinement, juxtaposed with the woman's playful expression creates a sense of paradox, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of historical events and their modern-day implications.
