The artist‘s idea of creating a nude body covered with an embroidered coat, a towel or a band on a transparent slab of plastic attached to the base of a photo was first realised in 2001 for the diptych Sorrowing Christ which later became an iconography representing Lina’s style. A portrayed nude body (or covered with a cloth) is like an empty canvas where the artist, with the help of a needle, creates an illusionary destiny of a man. Lina Jonikė was awarded with an Excellence Award for the work Arnotas at the international Kyoto contest/exhibition. --- The prototype used for this NFT is 200x125 cm. photograph covered with an embroidered transparent plastic.
