The third version of the little girl – angel called “Little Angel V (Esentia). The letter “V” stands for the Roman numeral “5” (there are now a total of five statues in the Little Angels series + The Sight Of Angel mask). The letter “V” is not only the numeral “5”, but it is also the symbol of “V” as a victory. Unlike the previous two “angels”, this one already has wings, but the wings have feathers plucked.

Angel II – the part of the original trilogy of angel statues. A work that was partly inspired by various angel sculptures, while writing my thesis on the subject (inspiration from the 19th century – Bouguereau, sculptural realism, Gormley, Wenders, my grandmother’s holy pictures, and even Nabokov’s Lolita). Again, I wanted to leave the viewer in their hidden, unspoken associations and perhaps even in their perversion.
