In the podcast dichotomies that are present in juxtaposed collages, ideals in gender representation, and the difference between the current historical context and that, in which the artwork was made, are discussed. Such a heroic monument of a woman, which is similar to men in her body proportions and strength was less common than motherly figures, but at the same time she is surrounded by ballerinas, seemingly unstable and fragile in their posture. What would the collage look like, if it was made today, and how could the female view of life be presented in it, are questions that remain open.
