Sisters 

This artwork, titled "Sisters," created by Iwo Zaniewski, captivates with its exquisite use of colored pencil. The drawing’s grainy texture, built up from countless strokes, echoes the labor-intensive act of handcraft itself. We see two women engaged in a similar act of making, tailoring clothes in what looks like a domestic sphere, yet there is a table filled with spools of thread, indicating that the labor of clothing production is at the heart of the image. The muted palette of blues and reds contrasts with the bright pink and blue shirts worn by the women, drawing our eye to the labor in the foreground. Zaniewski has drawn the scene using densely layered marks, evoking both texture and depth. The artist invites us to consider how the very act of making, rendered visible through the medium itself, can imbue a seemingly simple scene with profound social commentary. The medium and process become intrinsic to the image, reminding us that even the most everyday activities are shaped by the hands that perform them.
