Completely unique statuette, that displays the genetic continuum of human existence in the form of a totem pole. Generations growing from one another form the naturalistic matt outer surface. Red iron oxide symbols: the waving line of the DNA, the Sun, the Yin-Yang, the Heart all carry universal positive energy. Singularity and individuality in this transformation are represented by the facial profiles. The expressive cloak covers the mystified intrinsic values.
“My unique technique, with the flat plane turning into a three dimensional space, therefore allowing us to look the artwork from different viewpoints and see different aspects, gives expression to the universality and complexity of how the meaning of a single concept transforms through different viewpoints. It also represents how our perception is limited and we can observe only a few of all the dimensions. These views – though often clashing, finally complete each other and together form the whole.”
