My Dress Hangs There - Frida Kahlo

L'œuvre en bref
This painting was created by Frida Kahlo in 1933, during her stay in the United States with Diego Rivera. Frustrated by American society and the consumerist lifestyle, she felt deeply uprooted. She could not paint freely or live according to her Mexican values, which led her to create this critical work in her physical absence. Frida does not represent herself, but places a strong symbol of her identity at the center of the composition: her traditional dress.
The Mexican dress hangs from a washing line stretched between two columns, in the middle of a chaotic urban landscape. We see skyscrapers, a monumental toilet, a petrol pump, industrial elements and, in the distance, the Statue of Liberty. To the left, flames and a caricatured figure suggest decadence or violence. Each object seems to be placed without any logical connection, accentuating the sense of strangeness. The dress floats in the center, empty, like a silent reminder of her absence and exile.
