Faab series is focusing on relationships and attitudes of human beings to / and within each other. Each piece is a story, a collage of different images and situations and at the same time an observation of emotions and how we act and react to them in our daily lives.
Faab IV is an observation of a Femme fatale. A stock character of a mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers and her surroundings. Her ability to entrance and hypnotize everyone and everything around her just with her presence, look and her intensity. It is almost supernatural. She has the power to achieve her hidden purpose by using feminine wiles such as beauty, charm, and sexual allure.

Faab IV / a femme fatale (2014-*2016)
