“Fully empty” is constructed out of an aquatint etching I made. In the etching you can see textile ornaments from four cultures (Lithuanian, British, Indian and Pakistani), of which I am a part of or which shaped me as a person in one way or another. They are etched in a way that combines both my own drawing style and the original authentic ones from the culture it comes from. I think of this bowl as a symbol of the long period during which I suffered from an eating disorder. The bowl is empty, yet full of meaning. That period is important to me as an artist, since that is when I began to form my art style, which I mentioned earlier.
