The sculpture Levitation III, what represents a seated statue of a woman in the lotus yoga position, which is creatively shifted into an altered composition and creates the impression of floating (levitation) by touching the ground only at a few points – the little toe of one foot and a few fingers of the left and right hand. There is free space under the figure that can be looked into. The work is based on my similar, earlier sculptures – Levitation I and Levitation II, but most importantly it is a completely reworked model of the bronze sculpture “Levitation 2010”, which I created in 2010 for Dr. Braun Square in Ostrava – Svinov (the realization resulting from the victory in the public sculpture competition in 2009).
