Gypsy Lady with a Pearl Earring

"Gypsy Lady with a Pearl Earring" is a self-portrait that serves as both a personal expression and a heartfelt tribute to those who endure persecution. Margo not only explores her own Bohemian identity, but also sheds light on the broader struggles faced by marginalized communities. 
The artwork weaves elements of the iconic "Girl with a Pearl Earring" with distinct cultural symbols and nuances that highlight the resilience and beauty of those often overlooked or oppressed. By drawing parallels between personal narrative and collective history, the piece invites viewers to reflect on themes of identity, resilience, and the universal quest for dignity and justice. I hope to encourage empathy and understanding, fostering a deeper appreciation for the diverse tapestry of human experience.
