Burn That Woman Down - are drawings and collage series of iconological self-portraits as Christian saints and martyrs, who where brutally mutilated and murdered for sticking to their opinions and believes, usually proclaimed witches or heretics for not fitting in the society expectations. They where later proclaimed saints by the Catholic Church.
The aim was to depict the paradoxal perception of a healthy, respected and worthy woman in a contemporary Croatian society, which is still predominantly patriarchal and/or Roman Catholic.
