Soulcialism is a variation on the theme of vanity. Vanity, as authoritarianism and patriotic rhetoric, is here paired in a secret bond with levity. The body of work depicts
the dance between the ostentation of virility and the assumed frivolity of female figures,
in an imperishable human theatre that travels through ages and societies. The work is based on popular iconography dear to the Albanian dictatorship from the 40’s.
