In the work System, the artist confronts the duality between obedience and rebellion, tradition and contestation. The female figure, evoking the classic glamour of a golden age, appears marked by symbols of contemporary counterculture: tattoos, piercings, and scars. The phrase 'school kills artists' engraved on her neck echoes as a manifesto against institutions that shape, repress, and limit creativity.

A halo above the head mocks the idea of purity and holiness, suggesting that even within a 'system,' there can be a sacred space of resistance. The background, with urban traces and warm tones, reinforces the street atmosphere and authenticity.

System is a portrait of the constant tension between individual and structure, beauty and dissent, art and repression.
