Will-o’-the-wisp – a sculpture belonging to the theme of fairies, similar to the Little Mermaid. It was based on a small sculpture of the same name made in 2012 thanks to a private investor (a bronze version was also made with his support). Compositionally, the sculpture is based on a yoga position called Bakasana, but this time it is also modified and shifted position and is not a mere illustration. The statue of Will-o’-the-wisp is understood here as a form of a restless supernatural being who tries to seduce the pilgrim from the right path by his appearance and form.
