This work is a portrait of a couple, the woman being the character on the canvas and the man represented by the chair, with the watermelon being his belly. The performative dimension of Haerizadeh's practice is activated in this collage/assemblage, where the act of peeping through the skirt can be performed to discover Wislawa's poem, and through sitting on the chair. If you sit, you become part of this portrait as well.
