Menada is a work from Alexander Chalovsky’s collection.

Menada. It represents one of the Bacchant followers of Dionysius. She belongs to the Lost series, created by the artist to denounce the evils of war. Here she is depicted without limbs, that is, without those arms with which at the height of excitement she took a fawn to eat its heart and then divine. The meaning is clear, the violence generated by other violence leads with no way out to the loss of everything, even of what is thought to be beyond the reach of other beings.
