Olena Kishkurno
Polka Dot Game

2025

About the Item

In this work, naive playfulness meets quiet resilience. The heroine, dressed in polka dots, seems to have stepped out of an old film — part actress, part observer of her own life. "Polka Dot Game" tells the story of women who, in pursuit of pleasure, recognition, and freedom, enter risky games. Sometimes losing themselves — and sometimes, finding themselves. Here, polka dots are more than a decorative pattern. They become a symbol — at times a mask hiding fatigue and hope, at others a gesture of ironic self-awareness: “Yes, I know I’m playing a part. And that’s okay.” Pearls, traditionally linked to femininity, appear scattered — like memories, broken threads, or pieces of lived experience strewn across the stage of life. But the heroine is far from fragile. She plays her part with grace, wit, and quiet strength. Her role is a conscious choice. This painting speaks to the fine line between seduction and self-deception, between performance and reality. About how outward lightness can become both armor and an act of openness. Polka Dot Game is for those who feel life’s contradictions — and know how to smile back at them.
