'Cleopatra' is part of Roy Schweiger & Hagai Shvadron’series ‘Hair Stream’ which focuses on the visual representation of the conflict between reality and beauty perceptions. The series which combines Schweiger & Shvadron’s talents and personality, reflects on women’s complex identity and its relation to body and soul.

Once both artists completed their interpretation of the image, the two pieces were brought together, creating a mirror image of photography and drawing. The result is both aesthetic and thought-provoking.

“The juxtaposition of Hagai’s drawing changes Schweiger’s original composition, creating “a sort of triangle between the real woman in the photograph, her representation influenced by lighting and styling and the drawing which brings out her true ideals and desires”, says Shvadron.
