Private collection

The fAe – statue in life size. The fAe is the opposite to the statue “Levitation” – the whole composition, but also the anatomical treatment, emphasizes the basic need of life-breath. Compositionally, the work is based on the position of the yoga asana called a cobra. The principle of inhalation enhances the feeling of rising up, the effort to breathe, to lift up and look around into space and life – the birth of strength. The viewer can look into the widened eyes and see themselves.
