In her conversations with her doll, the artist seeks identity within the superfluous, the plastic and loneliness itself. The doll represents a social projection, eternal happiness and a longing to be loved and admired. The juxtaposition of plastic alongside flesh and blood becomes an irony.

Fragile Horizon
In the captivating photographic series “Fragile Horizons,” Lady Kunst invites us on an intimate and moving journey through the vulnerability of female expression. Each image in this collection is a meticulous study of emotion and inner state, where light and shadow become essential tools for revealing the complexities of the human experience.
The artist displays mastery in the use of lighting to accentuate deep feelings of isolation and, paradoxically, hope. Through carefully orchestrated compositions, she explores those liminal moments where strength meets fragility, and where stillness can contain both despair and the promise of a new dawn. The space of the image becomes a refuge for introspection, inviting the viewer into an empathetic connection with the narratives presented.

Inner States
A visual investigation into mental health, identity, trauma and the inner landscapes that define identity. Intense compositions with dramatic use of color and figure. Inner States is a deeply intimate and fiercely political visual exploration. Through theatrical and chromatically intense compositions, Jacqueline Delaye invites us to descend into the invisible territories of the mind: those internal landscapes where trauma, the multiplicity of the self, and the struggle to maintain sanity reside.
The scene depicts a fragmented world: disguised bodies, dissonant actions, animal presences, childlike objects, and performative gestures intertwine to construct a kind of symbolic psychoscene. Here, the mind is not represented as an abstraction, but as a habitable space, a dense forest of memories and roles vying for control of identity.

Mothers in the Age of Capitalism
In a system that measures value by productivity, capital, and efficiency, motherhood—with its expanded time, its unquantifiable affection, and its invisible labor—becomes a form of dissent. This work explores the tensions between the body that gestates, cares for, and raises children, and the machinery of a world that pushes it to the margins of the market.
Mothers in the Age of Capitalism is a silent cry and at the same time an archive of gestures: exhaustion, splitting, the partial disappearance of an identity that becomes multiple. The artist fragments, multiplies, sits on the fertile ground as a symbol of origin, but also as a body worn down by the demands of a system that romanticizes motherhood while exploiting it.
Here there is an echo of all those who raise children without a safety net, without pay, without rest. The altered face, almost a mask, speaks of imposed roles, of the artifice of the “good mother” in contrast to the real, complex, contradictory experience.
In times when even love can be capitalized on, this work confronts us with an urgent question: What does it mean to mother when everything—even the body—has been transformed into merchandise?

Through a lens that blends drama, humor, and social criticism, the artist invites us to a visual feast where the familiar becomes subversive and the conventional is dismantled.
In this collection, the artist appropriates archetypes and scenarios that have traditionally defined (and limited) women—from the home and domesticity to icons of history and popular culture—to infuse them with a new narrative of agency and empowerment. Each image becomes a micro-story of resistance:
“Housewife” (60x40cm, limited edition of 3, 2024)the domestic figure reveals herself with latent power that challenges the monotony of the home.
“Madame Pompadour” (60x40cm, limited edition of 1, 2024) the work questions our notions of femininity, power, and representation. What does it mean today to be a muse, a reader, an object, a subject? In this staging, everything is calculated, everything is excess… and everything is an open question.
“The domestic Vanguard” (30×20 cm, limited edition of 3, 2024)transforms household chores into acts of performance and rebellion, elevating the mundane to a sphere of activism and self-awareness.
“La Mujer Mexicana” (30×20 cm, limited edition of 3, 2024)pays homage to a rich and complex cultural identity, endowing it with an indomitable strength that transcends stereotypes.
“The Goddess of Waste” (60 x 40 cm, limited edition of 3, 2024)the artist bursts onto the scene with a bold statement about female agency and the confrontation of social mandates.

“The last soup” (70×50 cm, limited edition of 1, 2023)
“El Ocaso del Consumo” (70 x 50 cm, limited edition of 1, 2024) urban excess decays into a dreamlike warning: a landscape of brands, waste, and alienation that glows with ominous beauty. Waiting in the Garden of Memories summons a quieter reflection on nostalgia and the illusions we cultivate to soften the impact of modernity.
“Flesh of Luxury” (70×50 cm, limited edition of 1, 2022) confronts us with a visceral contradiction: the seduction of abundance against the raw cost of our appetites. Here, desire is dissected—revealing the dissonance between what is essential and what is merely sold to us as such.
“Barbie World” (40 x 60 cm, limited edition of 1, 2025) The artist amplifies this tension to surreal extremes. The woman at the center is caught mid-transformation: part human, part glossy avatar, part consumer product. Against a backdrop of iconography—Eiffel Towers, saturated leaves—her plastic skin gleams like a mask we all recognize.
“The last soup” (70×50 cm, limited edition of 1, 2023) the interplay between the spiritual and the mundane in everyday life.
