Nakhova’s work "Ironing boards" is related with the subject of gender. As a matter of fact, the viewer sees the actual ironing boards in front of him. These are painted with the images of women whose naked backs face the audience. Near the boards, there are electric irons with the “imprints” of the women’s skin. The feminist accent is obvious. The theme of this installation is a reflection on the place of woman in the modern world, the complexities, and stereotypes that she has to overcome.
