Mixed mediaGELA MIKAVA’s Street Dogs – Shadows of Existence captures the fragile interplay between visibility and disappearance, survival and neglect. A childlike figure fades into the darkness while a street dog—symbolizing both resilience and abandonment—wanders through the composition like a fleeting ghost. Behind them, an obscured presence suggests an unseen force, shaping destinies from the shadows.
This haunting work invites the viewer to reflect on human vulnerability, urban isolation, and the invisible souls living on society’s edges. Through a masterful balance of figurative abstraction and conceptual depth, MIKAVA’s art transcends simple narrative, touching on existential questions of presence, memory, and identity.
