BABYGIRL
2022
photography by Goran Popovski
“Babygirl” is a work that explores the imposed dynamics of contemporary relationships. The artist reflects on themes of surrender, subordination, and dependence, highlighting the shifting nature and various forms of connection between submissive and dominant roles within a partnership. Through “Babygirl,” Anastasija questions the extent to which partner submissiveness can be seen as a sign of healthy reliance on another, and where it crosses into an infantilized dependency on someone to provide what we are unable to give ourselves.
– Ognjen Minić, art historian
